What is the melting point of water at 5000 of altitude?

Answer 1

The boiling point of distilled water is 100 degrees Celsius at 1 atmosphere. The bubbles formed on the sides of vessel at the time of heating water are nothing but the air trapped in water. In general, the boiling point of a solution changes with respect to the pressure surrounding the liquid at that particular time. And this change in boiling temperature is directly proportional to pressure.

In degrees C the boiling point of water drops .53 degrees per 500 feet. So at 500 feet the boiling point of water is ~ 99.5 degrees.

Please note: A factor that elevates water boiling point is the presence of solute or other compounds. This is known as boiling point elevation. To be more precise, the boiling point of water in pure form is lower than a salted water or any other solution prepared by adding compounds.

Answer 2

Actually, there are stages of reduction of atmospheric pressure between ground level and the vacuum of space.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think its still 0. I'm sorry if I'm wrong...
