Why is the boiling point of water lower in Shimla than in Delhi?

I think that Shimla is at higher elevation than Delhi is. If that is the case, than it is because the barometric pressure goes down at higher elevations.

Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?
Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.
Why acetone lowers the boiling point of water whereas salt and sugar raise the boiling point and lower the melting point?
Acetone is a liquid with a boiling point lower than that of water; the other two are solids.
Does adding more solute to a solvent raise its freezing point lower its boiling point raise its boiling point or does not affect its boiling point?
raise its freezing point
Where the rice boil first at shimla or at delhi and why-?
Boiling point changes with altitude because of the atmospheric pressure. Rice will therefore boil first at Delhi because of the low altitude.
Why boiling point of water in Shimla in lower than that in Delhi?
It depends what your altitude is compared to sea level. The lower below sea level you are, the more atmospheric pressure there is thus increasing boiling point; pressure raises the boiling point. That is why your auto has a pressurized cooling system - to stop boil over.
How does the boiling point of saltwater compare to the boiling point of freshwater?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
Which has a lower boiling point butane or water?
benzene has lower boiling point than water
Does ethanol has the lower boiling point?
It depends what chemical or compound you are comparing the boiling point to. Ethanol has an atmospheric pressure boiling point of 78.1 °C (172.6 °F). This is slightly lower than the boiling point of water at the same pressure, much lower than the boiling point of iron, much higher than the boiling point of bromine.
How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
Why does the boiling point of methylated spirits drop?
The boiling point of methanol is lower than the boiling point of ethanol.
How does abnormally low pressure affect the boiling point of a compound?
lower pressure means a lower boiling point.
What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
When comparing the freezing point and the boiling point of different substances the?
boiling point is always lower.
Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?
Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.
Can the freezing point be lower than its boiling point in a constant pressure?
At a constant pressure, the freezing point is always going to be lower than the boiling point.
