The boiling point of a substance is the temperature where the molecules have enough energy to break the inter molecular bonds and form gas bubbles anywhere throughout the liquid. The higher the atmospheric pressure the more energy is required to form the bubbles and, therefore, the higher temperature is required. The boiling point of water varies depending on the weather ie the current atmospheric pressure.
The boiling point of water decreases as the altitude increases.
What else can I help you with?
What can be done to raise the boiling point of water?
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
What is a scientific question for a boiling water experiment?
How does the altitude at which water is boiled affect the temperature at which it boils?
What is the difference between boiling and simmering?
Boiling is food cooked in liquid that is at or just below the boiling point of water (212ºF, 100ºC, depending on altitude as altitude variables change the temperature required for water to boil). Simmering is food cooked in liquid that is below the boiling point of water, but higher than poaching temperature. To keep a pot simmering, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a point where the formation of steam bubbles has all but ceased, usually a water temperature of around 200ºF, 94ºC (this temperature also varies as well).
Why is the boiling point of water different on mount Everest and in room temperature?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
What is the boiling temp of water at 4000 ft?
The boiling temperature of water decreases as altitude increases. At an altitude of 4000 feet, the boiling point of water is around 204°F (96°C) instead of the standard 212°F (100°C) at sea level.
How does the water temperature of water change if you heat it after it has reached its boiling point?
it does not change
How does the boiling temperature of water change with altitude?
Depending on the altitude the boiling point will differ. This calculator will give you the boiling point of the altitude that you desire to discover: http://www.csgnetwork.com/h2oboilcalc.html
Can water boil at it's freezing point?
Water can not boil at its freezing point. Water can only boil at its boiling point. These are two contradictory points in temperature that would cancel each other out.
Did the temperature change while the water was boiling?
Yes
How does the temperature of water change if you heat it after it has reached the boiling point?
it does not change
How does the temperature of water change if you heat it after its has reached the boiling point?
it does not change
Does the temp of the water change as it boils?
Water stays at a constant temperature when it boils unless it is under pressure. More heat just makes it boils faster. The boiling temperature is around 212F or 100C varying somewhat with the altitude and the purity of the water.
