The Procedure:
Take about 25ml of distilled water in a boiling tube and add 2-3 small pieces of pumice stone.
1.Close the mouth of the boiling tube with a rubber cork that has two bores and clamp it with the stand.
2.Introduce a thermometer (temperature range -10 to 110°C) in one bore of the cork of the boiling tube. Keep the bulb of the thermometer about 3-5 cm above the surface of the water.
3.Then introduce one end of a delivery tube in the second bore of the cork.
4.Place a 250ml beaker below the second end of the delivery tube to collect the condensed water.
5.Heat the boiling tube gently, preferably by rotating the flame.
(Note the temperature (t1) when the water starts boiling.)
Continue to heat the water till the temperature becomes constant, and the water remains boiling. Note the constant temperature (t2).
Record your observations in tabular form.
(Note: Pieces of pumice stone are added to water before heating to avoid bumping of liquid when the temperature rises. When water boils it releases energy as bubbles. If the bubbles do not form, the water can super heat and possibly explode. This could happen if the container is very clean and there is no means for the formation of bubbles. Adding pieces of rough stone gives lots of surface area for bubbles to form and release the energy gradually.)
Observations:
observations given below:
1.Temperature when the water Boiling point of water
2.Starts boiling t1 (in °C) Continue to boil (Stationary temperature) t2 (in °C) (t1 + t2)/2 (in °C)
Precautions:
1.The bulb of the thermometer should be kept about 4-5 cm above the surface of water.
2.Pieces of pumice stone should be added to water before heating to avoid bumping.
3.Heating of water should be done by rotating the flame.
(Note temperature by keeping your eyes in line with the level of mercury)

Explanation:
Procedure:heat the water till it attains the temperature of 100°c. Record the temperature after 30 seconds.
Observations: 1. The temperature of the water rises till it reaches the temperature of 100°c
2. The water starts getting converted to steam its temperature reaches 100 degree Celsius
3. The temperature recorded by the thermometer remains fixed at hundred degree Celsius till the water is completely converted into steam
Conclusion: on heating the temperature of water rises till its reaches 100 degree Celsius the water then starts getting converted into steam at a constant temperature of hundred degree Celsius this process is known as boiling and the temperature of hundred degree celsius is known as the boiling point of water
