Does the temperature of the water change the boiling point?
The boiling point of water depends only on pressure, not ambient temperature. The only correlation between climate temperature and boiling point would come about from the fact that cold climates in temperate parts of the Earth are usually at higher elevations than warmer climates and therefore have lower atmospheric pressure.
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.
Will the temperature go higher or lower if you add salt to the water?
it goes higher
Why do foods require longer microwave cooking time at higher atitudes?
The boiling point of water goes down at higher altitudes, and so foods take longer to cook (because the temperature of the food doesn't usually exceed the boiling point of water).See the Related Questions about how elevation effects the boiling point of water.
Why is the boiling point of water lower in Shimla than in Delhi?
I think that Shimla is at higher elevation than Delhi is. If that is the case, than it is because the barometric pressure goes down at higher elevations.See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer for more about how the boiling point of water is affected by the air pressure.
What cause the temperature of the boiling point at the top of mount Everest different from the boiling point of pure water?
Pressure is much lower at the top of Mount Everest. PV=nRT. If pressure, P, goes down, then T, temperature, goes down. More temperature must be added.

What happens to the temperature of boiling water when heat is added to the boiling water?
If you add energy to a boiling liquid, it will just boil faster, but the temperature will remain the same, at the boiling point. All the energy goes into phase change, not heating.
The boiling temperature of water is so much higher than that of methane because water molecules are?
d.polarWater molecules are polar covalent and therefore form attractions between the molecules called hydrogen bonds. Much of the heat that goes into raising the temperature of water to its boiling point goes to breaking the hydrogen bonds first.
What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.
Will the temperature go higher or lower if you add salt to the water?
it goes higher
How do changes in air temperature affect water in the liquid and gas states?
If you leave water alone, it is in liquid form. If you raise the temperature of water to boiling, it creates steam. Is this a gas? If you lower the temperature to freezing, it becomes a solid.
When was the boiling point of water established?
Slightly back to front. People have been boiling water for ages the "boiling point" ie when it goes from liquid to gas happens at a certain temperature - we choose to call this temperature 100 degrees C (or 212F or 373K) The temperature scales were set up in 1724 for F and 1744 for C and 1848 for K In fact the temperature of boiling water was used as a fixed point to setup C from which K is based.
Does water vapor change to liquid water?
when water vapor turns to liquid water, it needs to condensate, when its temperature goes below 100 degrees, which is water's boiling point, for it to turn into liquid.
When water goes from a liquid to a gas?
water goes from liquid to gas in boiling or evaporation. boiling happens when the water reaches boiling point. evaporation happens naturally when water is left outside in the open it evaporates into the clouds.
How does condenation occur?
if you mean condensation, then it occurs when the temperature around a gas is lower than it's boiling point, making it turn into a liquid, which is called condensation.If the temperature goes lower than freezing point, then the gas will do what is called sublimation, and skip the liquid state
