Chemical changes, or reactions, result in the formation of new substances when bonds are. formed and/or broken. Some relatively simple but common types of chemical reactions are. illustrated in this experiment. Examples and descriptions of each type appear below.
Water boils when it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Water at a high altitude (for example, in a town in the mountains) doesnât have to get as hot in order to boil. In fact, water doesnât have to boil in order to turn from a liquid to a gas! For example, water at the surface of a lake can evaporate, or change to water vapor when heated by the sun!

At lower pressures, such as in the upper atmosphere or at the top of high mountains, water boils at a lower temperature than the nominal 100 Â°C (212 Â°F) at standard temperature and pressure. If heated further it becomes superheated steam.team is water in the gas phase, which is formed when water boils.
