Yes. The boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes because there is less atmospheric pressure.

Why is the boiling point of water different on mount Everest and in room temperature?

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.


How are melting and boiling points affected as altitude is increased?

Boiling point decrease at high altitude.


Is the boiling point of every liquid different?

yes!!!! every liquid is different for then it has a difference in the boiling and melting point.


Does melting point and boiling point of liquid changes from altitude to altitude?

The boiling point depends on altitude (pressure). The effect on the melting point is not significant.


Why is the boiling point in Durban different from that in Johannesburg?

Boiling point is dependent on air pressure. Air pressure is dependent on altitude. Durban is coastal, almost sea level. Johannesburg is inland, quite a bit higher. High altitude = low air pressure = low boiling point.


Is it true that boiling point remain constant in all altitudes?

No, the boiling point decrease at high altitudes.


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 are the boiling points of NaCl and KCl different?

The difference is minimal, only 7 0C; the melting and boiling points of materials are specific and different; and this is because the compostion and structure are not identical.


How do altitude affect freezing melting and boiling points of water?

As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases. This results in lower boiling points for water because there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on the water. However, the freezing point of water is not significantly affected by altitude.


Does the boiling temperature change as the elavation gets higher?

Yes, at high altitude the boiling point is lower.


Where on earth where the boiling point of water is lower?
