What is the boiling point of water at a higher altitidue than sea level?

Yes it does. Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. The higher one goes the lower the pressure. If the pressure is lower then the water does not need as much vapor pressure in order to boil, and thus the temperature is lower.

How does normal boiling points differ from other boiling points of the same liquid?
The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
Which has a higher boiling point 0.50 NaCl or 0.50 MgCl2?
The magnesium chloride solution has a higher boiling point.
When a liquid sample is taken from sea level to a higher elevation what happens to the external pressure on the liquid and the boiling point of the liquid?
atmospheric pressure is lower and the boiling point is less
What relation does the boiling point of an amine have to a similar hydrocarbon?
The boiling point would be higher!

Does boiling point of water change as you move above sea level?
yes the boiling point changes with elevation. the higher the elevation the lower the boiling point.
What can change the boiling point of water?
the height you are away from see level. as you get higher, the temperature gets higher.
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
How does pressure affect boiling point?
The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
How does salt effect boiling point?
The boiling point is higher.
Which substance has higher boiling point nitrogen fluoride or NH3?
Boiling point of NH3: -33,34 0C Boiling point of NF3: -129,1 0C The boiling point of ammonia is higher.
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?
In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.
Does chlorine have a higher boiling point than iodine?
iodine is having higher boiling point
What C7H16 isomer has the highest boiling point?
Heptane - longer the chain, higher the boiling point. Least amount of branches, higher the boiling point.
The boiling point of a liquid solution is?
Higher then the boiling point of the solvent.
