Reduced pressure lessens the squeezing of molecules, which favors their tendency to separate and form vapor.
because pressure decreases as altitude increases
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.
The boiling point will also decrease in this case.
Every substance has their own boiling point.
Water usually boils at 212F or 100C at sea level. As you go higher up in the atmosphere (higher altitude), the amount of atmosphere pushing down on you decreases, hence the pressure decreases. Water boils when the vapor pressure of the water equals the atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure increases with increasing temperature, so when there is less atmospheric pressure, a smaller vapor pressure is required to get the water boiling, hence a lower boiling temperature.
Boiling point is nothing but point at which liquid starts changing from liquid state to vapor state. liquid changes to vapor when vapor pressure equal to surrounding pressure. so if surrounding pressure is less boiling point is less and boiling point is high if surrounding pressure is high this point is on view of pressure
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase and the atmospheric pressure decrease.
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.
The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).
Ya ........ if you have an egg on the top of high mountain the altitude and less air density causes lower boiling points and when you get higher it reduces the boiling point of the water and it is due to atmospheric pressure.Boiling is directly proportional to atmospheric pressure which becomes lower when we go above the sea level example mountainous areas. Answered by 12th standard student.SSK.
The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.
Boiling point decrease at high altitude.
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase; the value at Johannesburg is near 94 0C.
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.

As pressure decreases, the boiling point of water will also decrease. Backpackers camping in the high mountains are familiar with the phenomena when they get water boiling - and find that it is still only lukewarm because the atmospheric pressure at their high altitude is so low.
The boiling point will also decrease in this case.
Air pressure affects the boiling point. Lower air pressure is present at higher altitudes.
