What happens to the boiling point of water at altitudes above sea level?
The temperature decreases the higher you go.
What is the boiling point of water at 672 mm Hg?
The boiling point of water drops by approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 550' of elevation gain above sea level (ASL). So the boiling point of water at 6000' ASL would be around 93.8 degrees Celsius or 201 degrees Fahrenheit.
What happens to the boiling point of water at altitudes above sea level xy?
Answer:The boiling point of water at sea level is 100oC (212oF). Water boils when the pressure of the vapor is equal to the surrounding pressure. Since atmospheric pressure is reduced at higher altitudes it takes less energy (and therefore less heat) to boil water. So to put it simply the higher your altitude the lower the boiling point.
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.
How can you increase the boiling point of water apex?
By increasing the air pressure above the water~ Apex :)
Does boiling point of water change as you move above sea level?
yes the boiling point changes with elevation. the higher the elevation the lower the boiling point.
What is the boiling point of water in desert?
The boiling point of water depends upon the elevation above sea level. At sea level, water boils at 100 degrees C. The boiling point decreases as altitude increases. The boiling pint in a desert would depend upon the elevation of that particular location in a desert.
What happens to the boiling point of water at altitudes above sea level?
The temperature decreases the higher you go.
What is the boiling point of water in Bangalore?
the boiling point for water is always 100 degrees celcius - no mater where you are. The boiling point of the water varies from place to place depending upon the height of the location from the sea level. As you go high from sea level the boiling point of the water goes down . The Banglore is located at 3000ft above sea level so the boiling point of water in Banglore remains around 96 degree centigrade to 97 degree centigrade
Are there more water vapor molecules above a beaker of water at room temperature or a beaker of water at its boiling point?

Atlanta, Georgia, is situated at 1,050 feet above sea level. What is the boiling point in Atlanta?
The boiling point of water in Atlanta, Georgia, will be slightly lower than the standard boiling point of 212°F (100°C) due to its higher elevation of 1,050 feet above sea level. The boiling point of water decreases by about 1°F for every 500 feet increase in elevation. So, the boiling point in Atlanta would be around 210°F (99°C) or slightly lower.
What is false about boiling points?
The boiling point of water is not 100 ºC. The boiling point of water is 100 ºC at 1 atmosphere pressure. If you boil water, the temperature can range from 93 to 101 ºC depending on atmospheric pressure of the day and how elevated above sea level you are.
What is the boiling point of water at 672 mm Hg?
The boiling point of water drops by approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 550' of elevation gain above sea level (ASL). So the boiling point of water at 6000' ASL would be around 93.8 degrees Celsius or 201 degrees Fahrenheit.
When does liquid water turn to gas?
At sea level, liquid water boils and becomes a gas at 212º F, or 100º C. Due to lower surrounding pressure it has a lower boiling point at higher altitudes (ex. boiling point is 202º F in Denver, CO, about 5,000ft. above sea level), and a higher boiling point at lower altitudes.
How would the air pressure at the Dead Sea affect the boiling point of water?
The 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.
What temperature will water boil a town located 2500 m above sea level?
The boiling point of water at 2 500 m is 91,673 0C.
