    also, keep in mind that tap water has impurities, which will change the boiling point. distilled water is what you need if you are going to be exact.

    It will change when the atmospheric pressure changes, so the exact answer is there is none.

    I remember a couple of second year engineering courses where we used 96° as an approximation

    Since nobody else has asked...

    What are you doing that you need a precise number?

    the elevation and lower air pressure allows water to expand to its gas state with less energy.

    I hear that at the top of mount everest water boils are 52*c

    Yeah that. It will vary depending on heat source, for eg. Natural gas flame vs. campfire flame vs. underpass hobo garbage bin flame.

    to a certain extent that is true. It's possible to superheat water with a microwave, but very difficult to accomplish that same result with the Hobo-stove (tm) mentioned above.
    Ain't technology wonderful?
