If nonsalt water is placed in a closed system (for example an automotive cooling system) then for every pound of pressure the system can handle (ex. radiator cap) the boiling point of water (normally being 212f) is raised by 3 degrees. Thus, if said system can handle only 1 pound pressure before the water boils the temperature of the water when it boils should be 215F. Or so I understand.

Increasing the pressure the melting point increase - but exceptions exist.

Which has a lower boiling point butane or water?
benzene has lower boiling point than water
Why does a butane lighter work poorly in cold weather?
The boiling point of Butane is approximately -0.5 C at sea level (This boiling point will drop with an increase in altitude given the reduced pressure). This means that as the lighter nears freezing less gas will be vaporized inside of the lighter and will make it hard to light.

In a pressure cooker a lid is screwed tightly onto a pot so that the air pressure in the pot is increased What effect if any will this have on the boiling point of water in the pot?
THe boiling point will be raised
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.
When is the freezing point of a liquid?

What is the alkane with a boiling point of 0?
Butane has a boiling point of 0.5 degrees centigrade
Which has a lower boiling point butane or water?
benzene has lower boiling point than water
What is the effect of pressure on boiling?
Lowering the pressure the boiling point is also lower.

Temperature of liquid butane sprayed in air?
The boiling point of butane is roughly -1.1oC.
What is the effect of decreased pressure on boiling point and freezing point of water?
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower
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.
How does altitude effect boiling points?
The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.

As you go to higher elevations above sea level the boiling point of water?
as you go higher above sea level, pressure decreases. Due to the decrease in pressure, the temperature needed for water to boil is less than it is than it would be at sea level. Thus, it would take less heat energy for the bonds to break and become a gas than it would in an environment with more pressure.
What is the freezing point of butane?
n-butane : Melting point −138.4 °C (135.4 K), boiling at −0.5 °C (272.6 K)iso-butane (methylpropane): Melting point -159.6 °C, (114 K) , boiling at -11.7 °C, (261 K)

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.
