Because of the pressure. As you higher the ground the pressure increase which make the boiling temp of liquid lower that expected.
The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).
The boiling point of a liquid is closely related to the atmospheric pressure in which it finds itself. Basically, the lower the atmospheric pressure (whether it is 'air' or any other gases) the lower the boiling point.For example, water will boil at much less than 100degrees celcius at the top of Mount Everest.
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
Yes it does. Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. The higher one goes the lower the pressure. If the pressure is lower then the water does not need as much vapor pressure in order to boil, and thus the temperature is lower.
The bottom - this is why the hydrocarbons with the shortest chains leave the tower at the top as they have a lower boiling point.
Pressure is much lower at the top of Mount Everest. PV=nRT. If pressure, P, goes down, then T, temperature, goes down. More temperature must be added.
1800degrees celsius
The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m elevation, the pressure is about 260 mbar (26.39 kPa) and the boiling point of water is 69 °C. (156.2 °F).
AnswerImpurities tend to increase the boiling point and lower the freezing point.in a way boiling point of salty water > boiling point of fresh waterfreezing properties of salty water < freezing properties of fresh watermelting properties of salty water < melting properties of fresh water.Salt water, contains NaCl, which ionizes into Na and Cl ions. when ions are added to a solvent, such as water, they tend to increase the boiling point and lower the melting point.
The boiling point is lower.
The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest the pressure is about 260 mbar (26.39 kPa) so the boiling point of water is 69 °C. (156.2 °F). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

im not sure but im pretty sure it is neither. it is your face.
As air pressure drops over the water surface the boiling point will drop and vice versa. So a kettle of water will boil at a lower temperature at the top of a mountain than at sea level because there's lower air or atmospheric pressure at the mountain top. Pressure is proportional to boiling point
