Air pressure affects the boiling point. Lower air pressure is present at higher altitudes.
At a high altitude, water reaches its boiling point at a lower temperature because of a lower air pressure holding it in its liquid form.
Due to lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, water will boil at lower temperature.
A high altitude coffee maker is a special type of coffee maker that is used for areas that are at higher altitudes. What makes it different than standard coffee makers is that it boils water at a lower temperature due to the altitude.
If the altitude increases the temperature and pressure decreases so the evaporation takes place faster
A temperature inversion occurs when air temperature at the upper layer are much warmer than the lower layer of air..
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
The boiling point of any liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. So if the atmospheric pressure is lower, it will take a lower temperature to make the vapor pressure equal to that of atmospheric pressure. At hill-stations, the air is generally thinner due to the altitude and the atmospheric pressure is also lower. Here, it requires less than 100oC temperature to reach the point where the vapor pressure of water reaches that of air. So, water boils below 100oC at hill stations.
During the time water absorb heat from the atmosphere if the initial temperature was lower.
Reduced pressure lessens the squeezing of molecules, which favors their tendency to separate and form vapor.
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. However, water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitude. Salt water boils at a higher temperature than pure water.
Because the air pressure is lower then at sealevel, the boiling temperature of the water is lower. Unless you have a (high) pressure cooker.
