Would you expect the boiling point of water in Baguio city be higher or lower that 100 degree Celsius why?

This has been asked over and over recently. Is this part of an exam or a class?
Boiling point decreases with altitude because there is less pressure. The water will boil when the vapor pressure equals the air pressure.
Baguio city is about 1500-1600 meters above sea level, making its temperatures roughly 8 degrees C less than the sea level areas of the Phillipines. For every 1000 feet in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases about 1 degree C. Very roughly, Baguio city is at 4500 feet elevation. The boiling point of water at Baguio city should be about 4.5 degrees C less than 100 degrees C, or 95.5 degrees C.

∙ 13y agoI'm thinking the difference in atmospheric pressure causes the water to boil slower in baguio? Because Baguio has a higher elevation than manila, and therefore lower atmospheric pressure, and therefore it takes longer to boil water.

Better Answer: The boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure, which changes according to elevation. The boiling point of water is 100°C or 212° F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level), but water boils at a lower temperature as you gain altitude (e.g., on a mountain) and boils at a higher temperature if you increase atmospheric pressure (lived below sea level). Baguio is some 1600m above sea level according to Wikipedia.
The boiling point of water also depends on the purity of the water. Water which contains impurities (such as salted water) boils at a higher temperature than pure water. This phenomenon is called boiling point elevation, which is one of the colligative properties of matter.

∙ 14y agoas we move upwards from sea level the atmospheric pressure decreases so the boiling point of water also becomes decreased.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoBecause Baguio is at an altitude of 1540 metres, the atmospheric pressure is lower there. As a result, water boils at a lower temperature.

Would you expect the boiling point of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine?
The boiling point of chlorine is -34.6 degrees C and the boiling point of iodine is 184 degrees C so iodine's boiling point is massively higher
What is the boiling point of pbso4?
Lead(II) sulfate melts at over a 10000C. I can't find a boiling point and I am not surprised- I would expect decomposition at such temperatures.
When boiling eggs you can smell sulfur what amino acids do you expect in the egg?
Egg white proteins
Which of these alkanes methane ethane propane and butane expect to have the highest boiling point?
Butane because it contains more atoms and is heavier.
What do the unusual properties of water mostly comes from?
Mostly from the fact that there is strong hydrogen bonding between the molecules. This, for instance, gives water much higher melting and boiling points than we'd otherwise expect for such small molecules.
If you boil water at the top of a mountain would you expect it to boil at 100 degree Celsius explain?
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
Which state of matter would you expect to find water at 20 Celsius on Earth?
In a liquid, as at sea level water's boiling point is 100 degrees and it's freezing point is 0.
Would you expect to get the same value for density of a liquid of 20 degree Celsius and 40 degree Celsius?
This question is dependent on the exact type of liquid. For example as it cools to freezing ice is actually less dense than liquid water. This is the reason for ice having the ability to float.
If bacteria used in an experiment - were kept at a temperature of 100 degree Celsius - would you expect the population sizes to increase even faster than at 15 degree Celsius?
Bacteria would be more likely to thrive in warm conditions but 100 degrees Celsius is likely a little too warm. This temperature would likely kill most bacteria so the answer is no.
Why do Fahrenheit sides has more numbers than the Celsius sides?
1 degree Celsius is equal to 9/5 degrees Fahrenheit. Or it is easier to think that one degree Celsius is approximately two degrees Fahrenheit. So, if one has a thermometer that reads both Fahrenheit and Celsius, one would expect about twice the range of numbers on the Fahrenheit side, as well as potentially having more numbers marked on the scale.
Would you expect the boiling point of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine?
The boiling point of chlorine is -34.6 degrees C and the boiling point of iodine is 184 degrees C so iodine's boiling point is massively higher

What is the salary of a forensic criminologist?
The salary of a forensic criminologist can vary based on factors such as experience, location, and employer. On average, forensic criminologists can earn between $40,000 to $100,000 per year. Those with advanced degrees and certifications may earn higher salaries.

no
When can San Bernardino expect 100 degree temperature?
never
What type of precipitation occurs at 25 degrees celsius?
The temperature 25 degrees Celsius is quite warm, and you would expect that precipitation would be in the form of rain. It doesn't snow until it is zero Celsius or lower.
