What would happen to the boiling point of a substance if the elevation were to rise?

Actually, as you rise in elevation in atmoshpere im assuming, the pressure decreases. This pressure drop will cause the boiling point of anything to rise, therefore requiring more energy to boil.

Is boiling point a chemical property in a substance?
Boiling point is a physical property not a chemical property.
How does a substance's boiling point determine its state at room temperature?
If the substance's boiling point is lower than room temperature, it is probably a gas. If the boiling point is higher, it will be a liquid.
What may happen to the boiling point of the substance if there are impurities present?
The boiling point will increase. The impurities essentially "block" the molecules of the substance from leaving the liquid as a gas, so a higher temp is needed to boil it. see colligative properties.
Is a characteristic a boiling point?
A characteristic for the boiling point is that the substance start changing state.
What is the boiling melting and freezing point?
A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.
What may happen to the boiling point of a substance if there are impurities present?
The boiling point won't decrease
Importance of colligative properties in everyday?
For example the boiling point elevation of a solution containing a dissolved substance.
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.
How does boiling point and melting point find a substance?
what is the melting point and boiling point of substance
The difference between the boiling point of a liquid in pure state and the boiling point of the liquid in solution?
Boiling Point Elevation
Does raising the elevation of a bowl of water lower the boiling point for that water?
As the air pressure drops the boiling point of water (or any substance) will also drop. The higher your altitude the lower the air pressure.
What is it called when the presence of a nonvolatile solute will do what to the boiling point of a solvent?
Boiling point elevation
What is the tendency of a solute to change a boiling point of solid called?
Boiling point elevation
Is the boiling point of a substance an example of a chemical property?
The boiling point of a substance is an example of a physical property of that substance.
Is boiling point a chemical property in a substance?
Boiling point is a physical property not a chemical property.
What is the boiling point for celcious?
Celsius is not a substance and so does not have a boiling point
What is the effect of a soluble and nonvolatile impurity on the boiling point of a liquid?
The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution increases its boiling point. The amount of the elevation of the boiling point depends only on the number of molecules of solute present, and not on their identity. See the article entitled "Boiling-point elevation" on Wikipedia for the maths involved.
