Why the boiling point of water is lower on mountains than at sea level?
The boiling point of a liquid is defined as when the vapour pressure of that liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. On mountains, the air pressure is lower than at sea level, so it follows that the boiling point of water is lower there.
When the water level is higher inside than outside the flask is the gas pressure in the flask higher or lower or the same as the atmospheric pressure?
The gas pressure in the flask is lower than the atmospheric pressure when the water level is higher inside than outside the flask.
Does water boil at a lower level above sea level?
First understand that the boiling of water occurs when the energy of water molecules is equal to the vapour pressure... (i.e energy of water is equal to the external pressure due to the atmosphere)... above sea level the atmospheric pressure is lower hence low energy is required... hence water boil at low temperature...
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.
Why does water boils at lower temperature in a mountaintop?
Because in the mountaintop the pressure is lower than in the sea level; I think.
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.
Why do elevations above sea level increase the cooking time of pasta?
As you get higher above sea level, air pressure decreases. Water boils at a lower temperature when the air pressure is lower. When the water temperature is lower, pasta and anything else takes longer to cook.
Why the boiling point of water is lower on mountains?
Because the pressure high up in the moutains is lower than on sea level.
Why Water would boil faster in mountains?
At lower pressure boiling points decrease. At high elevations, such as in mountains the atmospheric pressure is lower than at seas level.
How do you think boiling of water will change on sea level as compared to boiling water on a mountain top?
I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.
How artesian wells are formed?
a borehole into the lower stratum below the water level so that pressure forces the water upwards
Why did your thermometer never hit 100 degrees Celsius when boiled?
You are probably above sea level so that the atmospheric pressure is lower than sea level pressure. Water boils at lower temperatures as the pressure is lowered. The other possibility is that the thermometer is not calibrated correctly, but I'd go with the atmospheric pressure is below sea level pressure.
