The boiling point would rise as the pressure rises

∙ 12y agoThe Dead Sea is below mean sea level for the earth; therefore, the pressure at the Dead Sea would be greater than at mean sea level and the boiling point of water would be above 100C.

How does the density of water affect its boiling point?
The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.
How would the altitude and the atmospheric pressure of Johannesburg affect the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase; the value at Johannesburg is near 94 0C.
How does the boiling point of a liquid vary with pressure?
Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric (barometric) pressure above it. When the two are equal, that defines the boiling point.Therefore, you can either boil something by heating the liquid, and thus raising its vapor pressure (vapor pressure goes up with temperature), or you can boil something by reducing the atmospheric pressure above it until it matches the vapor pressure.See the Related Questions links to the left for more information about how the boiling point of water changes with elevation and atmospheric pressure.
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
How does change in pressure affect the boiling point of a compound?
The boiling point temperature of a compound increases as the pressure increases, until the pressure reaches the critical pressure of the compound. For water, you have : P ( kPa ) T ( C ) ------------ ---------- 1.0.............. 6.97 50....... .......81.32 100............ 99.61 101.325... 100.0 500........... 151.83 8000......... 295.01 20000....... 365.75 22064....... 373.95 ( Critical Point of H2O )
How can changing water pressure affect boiling point?
Increasing the pressure increases the boiling temperature
What 2 factors affect the boiling point of water?
Pressure & Temperature :) Apex
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.

Why is the boiling point of a pure liquid usually reported along with the pressure at which the boiling point was measured?
Because the pressure could affect the temperature at which the water boils
Why the boiling point of a pure liquid is usually reported along with the pressure at which the boiling point was measured?
Because the pressure could affect the temperature at which the water boils
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.
What are the factors that affect the boiling of liquids?
Short answer: Pressure. Long answer: Pressure changes the boiling point of a substance. The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point, and vice versa. For example, boiling water in the mountains is easier than boiling water at sea level. Note that boiling water is not necessarily hot. You can boil water at room temperature if the pressure is low enough (For example, using a vacuum generator)

What is the boilinge point of water?
The boiling point of water depends on the pressure. At 1 atmosphere pressure, the boiling point is 100ºC or 212ºF.
Why boiling point of water is not fixed?
The boiling point of water is fixed but boiling points depends on the atmospheric pressure.
