Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the physical state of water depends on temperature and pressure, with standard atmospheric pressure being 1 atm.
Recall the normal freezing point of water at 1 atm, which is 0\(\degree\) C, where water changes from solid (ice) to liquid.
Recall the normal boiling point of water at 1 atm, which is 100\(\degree\) C, where water changes from liquid to gas (steam).
Recognize that water remains in the liquid state between these two temperatures, i.e., from 0\(\degree\) C to 100\(\degree\) C at 1 atm pressure.
Therefore, the temperature range where water is typically liquid at standard atmospheric pressure is from 0\(\degree\) C to 100\(\degree\) C.
