What is the boiling point at 7000 feet?

Answer 1

Yes. The boiling point of the water goes down. Because there is less pressure up that high, you don't have to reach 100 degrees Celsius (or 212 degrees Fahrenheit). At 7000 ft, the standard barometric pressure is 23.088 inches Hg, and so water boils at 199.3 degrees Fahrenheit or 199.3 °F, which is equal to 92.94 degrees Celsius, or 92.94 °C. However, the pressure at 7000 feet will not always be exactly 23.088 in Hg (for instance, if a weather pattern changes the barometric pressure).

Answer 2

As per a previous quesion here,

"How does the elevation and air pressure affect the boiling point of water?"

<http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_the_elevation_and_air_pressure_affect_the_boiling_point_of_water>;

the approximate boiling point for various altitudes is as follows:

1 in. Hg: 214 °F or 101.1 °C (at approx -1000 ft or -305 m below sea level)

30 in. Hg: 212.15 °F or 100 °C (at approx sea level)

29 in. Hg: 210.3 °F or 99.06 °C (at approx 1000 ft or 305 m above sea level)

28 in. Hg: 208.44 °F or 98.02 °C (at approx 2000 ft or 610 m above sea level)

27 in. Hg: 206.59 °F or 96.99 °C (at approx 3000 ft or 914 m above sea level)

25 in. Hg: 202.89 °F or 94.94 °C (at approx 5000 ft or 1524 m above sea level)

23 in. Hg: 199.19 °F or 92.88 °C (at approx 7000 ft or 2134 m above sea level)

21 in. Hg: 195.48 °F or 90.82 °C (at approx 10,000 ft or 3048 m bove sea level)

19 in. Hg: 191.78 °F or 88.77 °C (at approx 12,000 ft or 3658 m above sea level)

17 in. Hg: 188.07 °F or 86.71 °C (at approx 15,000 ft or 4572 m above sea level)

10 in. Hg: 175.11 °F or 79.51 °C (at approx 27,000 ft or 8230 m above sea level)

5 in. Hg: 165.85 °F or 74.36 °C (at approx 42,000 ft 12,802 m above sea level)

Answer 3

The boiling temperature decreases the higher you go. This is due to the pressure dropping with altitude. At the height of everest, around 28000 feet, water boils around 70'C. At 10000 feet the boiling point of water is around 90'C

Answer 4

over 9000 degrees
