I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.

Is The boiling point of a liquid is lower at sea level than on a mountain?

Yes because it when it hit the mountain it is not right compared to a solid construction pint


What is the difference in boiling pure water on a mountain top and at sea level?

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 degrees centigrade. but the boiling point of water at a mountain top will depend on the atmospheric pressure of the air around that mountain top area at the time . if u were to measure the air pressure as u climb a mountain u would notice a change ; a reduction in air pressure . hence as you approach the top of the mountain the air pressure would have been seen to reduce to a much lowe rvalue that that at sea level height . i think it can be as low as 70 degrees centigrade at some mountain tops. in comparison if u had an enclosed metal vessel and made the pressure inside that increase to a very high value, the water would now boil at a much greater temperature , 250 degrees ? maybe .


Why is the boiling point of water on top of a mountain than that it is at sea level?

because of the air pressure diference .


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 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.


Does water boil faster at sea level than on the top of a mountain?

Water boils faster on top of a mountain than at sea level because the boiling point of water is reduced with reduced atmospheric pressure.


Why boiling point of water in Shimla in lower than that in Delhi?

It depends what your altitude is compared to sea level. The lower below sea level you are, the more atmospheric pressure there is thus increasing boiling point; pressure raises the boiling point. That is why your auto has a pressurized cooling system - to stop boil over.


What are the freezing and boiling points of water on the Fahrenheit scale?

32 freezing, 212 boiling - at sea level. Temps change as air pressure changes.


What is dependency of pressure and boiling point?

As air pressure drops over the water surface the boiling point will drop and vice versa. So a kettle of water will boil at a lower temperature at the top of a mountain than at sea level because there's lower air or atmospheric pressure at the mountain top. Pressure is proportional to boiling point


Why does water boil at a low temperature on a high mountain compared too at sea level?

Because there is less air pressure.


How would the period of the simple pendulum be change if the pendulum is moved from the sea level to the top of the high mountain?

It's faster at sea level and slower at the top of a mountain.


When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain what happens to the time?

it will lose time. it slows as you change level....change of gravity
