What does an increase in pressure on the surface of water do to the boiling point?

It will raise the boiling point. This why, for example, car radiators have a pressure cap. This causes a rise in the boiling point of the water and it is less likely to boil.


How do you raise the boiling point of water on a mountain?

If you want and if it is possible by an increase of pressure.


Does adding more solute to a solvent raise its freezing point lower its boiling point raise its boiling point or does not affect its boiling point?

raise its freezing point


A 10 psi radiator cap will raise the boiling point of coolant how degrees Fahrenheit?

the boiling point of the water will raise 3 deg. frht. for every pound of pressure the cap is rated for. a 10lb. cap will raise the boiling temp to 242deg. frht.


What is you boil at different degrees?

Do you mean how can you boil at different temperatures? You can add lots of salt to the boiling water to raise the temperature. This isn't very effective. The best method is to pressurize the pot (pressure cooker) this will raise the temperature quite a bit, up to 250 degrees at the highest pressure allowed by a pressure cooker. Do you mean what are the different temperature scales and boiling points? water boils at 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C


Does adding more heat to a bowl of water raise the boiling point?

No, the boiling point of the pure water remain constant at 100 0C, of course at standard pressure.


Can water boil above 100 deg C?

Yes, by increasing the pressure you raise the boiling point.


What do pressure cookers do to the boiling point of water?

Pressure Cookers raise the boiling point of water. As pressure increases on a liquid, so does the boiling point. This is due to the fact that a liquid will not boil until the vapor pressure of the liquid is equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid. Think of it essentially as the surrounding pressure holds the substance in liquid form until it has enough energy to escape into gas form.


How does the boiling point affect sugar water?

salt or sugar would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point. The salt or sugar would reduce the partial pressure of water in the solution (essentially more competition), effectively raising the boiling point.


Why does hydrogen bonding raise the melting and boiling point of water?

waters boiling point is 100 degree celcius


Why does water boil in your reservoir?

Because it's very very hot. OR Is the correct temperature and has not enough pressure upon it to raise it's boiling point. Water's boiling point increases 3 degrees per pound of pressure upon it.


How can you get water to boil at 170 degrees c?

Water at ambient atmospheric pressure boils at 100C. One way of raising the boiling point is to raise the surrounding pressure. If you raise the pressure surrounding the water to about 93 psi above atmospheric, it will boil at about 170C. Do not try this at home! Boiling water at this pressure is extremely dangerous and can severely burn you.
