For every thousand (1000) feet above sea level, the boiling point of water drops by two (2) degrees. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees celsius. Fifteen (15) feet above sea level will make no real difference to the temp needed for boiling.
(T)1000
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...
0 degrees C
The temperature decreases the higher you go.
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.
The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 100 The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 211.149°F.
That depends on the elevation that the water is at but the higher the elevation the lower the temperature required. this is because on of the things keeping water a liquid is the air pressure on it in fact if you put a glass of water in a container and put enough vaccum on it you can boil water at room temperature.formula for calc
I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.
Very low temperature,which is present at the toppest level of clouds
Water can remain liquid at a temperature above 100 degrees, C., when the pressure on it is greater than the pressure found at average sea level.
The boiling point of water at 2 500 m is 91,673 0C.
When the water boils, it has reached the temperature that is required for it to become water vapor.H2O (l) -> H2O (g)As the water is boiling, more of the Liquid water is evaporating into the air, hence decreasing the water level in the saucepan.
You aren't at water level.
