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 degree will water boil at 2192 feet?
At this altitude (2150-2200 ft) water will boil at about 97.8 oC . It also depends on the weather (high/low pressure).This is calculated according to 'Water Altitude Boiling Point Calculator' (Cf. 'Related links' just below this answer. Select on opened site page the 2nd button 'What is the local altitude' in ft. or m.).
Does water boil at 175 degrees fahrenheit?
That depends on the air pressure. At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit. As air pressure decreases, the boiling point of water also decreases. So it is possible for water to boil at 175 degrees fahrenheit if it were taken to a high enough altitude.
What is the boiling point of water at 1500 meters?
At an altitude of 1500 metres, pure water will boil at approx 95 deg C.
How long does it take approximatly for a gas cooker to get to 100 degrees Celsius?
The gas cooker will get to that temperature very quickly. Any liquid you are trying to boil depends on the size of the cooker and its burner size, the amount of liquid you intend to boil and also the altitude that you are at. The higher the altitude, the longer it takes water to boil.
In what particular place the water will boil faster?
At high altitude
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.
Mount everest has a high pressure to boil water?
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 degree will water boil at 2192 feet?
At this altitude (2150-2200 ft) water will boil at about 97.8 oC . It also depends on the weather (high/low pressure).This is calculated according to 'Water Altitude Boiling Point Calculator' (Cf.

Why is it difficult to hard boil an egg at high altitude?
Because the air pressure is lower then at sealevel, the boiling temperature of the water is lower. Unless you have a (high) pressure cooker.
How can water boil below 100 c?
You would have to be somewhere VERY up high. the change in altitude would decrease the boiling point.
Why does water boil faster at high altitude than at sea level?
There's a smaller column of air pressing down at high altitudes, so air pressure is less.
What is the boil point of water in celsius at 1000 meters?
At an altitude of 1000 metres, pure water will boil at approx 96.5 deg C
Does water boil the same at sea level as it does at higher elevations?
Due to lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, water will boil at lower temperature.
At what temperature Celsius does water boil in Johannesburg?
About 91 Degrees Celsius, due to the altitude.
At what temperature does water boil on a hill?
Depends on the altitude, at sea level it is 100 degrees celsius
When water boils its temperature?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. However, water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitude. Salt water boils at a higher temperature than pure water.
