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.

Where would it take longer for an egg to cook Death Valley or Mount Everest?
The boiling point of water is dependent on the air pressure or altitude. On Mount Everest the boiling point of water is 69 0C.
What is boiling point if mount Everest and normal water?
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.
What is the boiling point of pure water on top of mount Everest?
1800degrees celsius
Why is the boiling point of water different on mount Everest and in room temperature?
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.
Why is there a difference in boiling points on mount Everest and room temperature?
The boiling point on Mount Everest - whether at its base or on its summit - is the boiling point of water at different pressures. Within the relevant range of atmospheric pressure, the boining point ranges from around 100 deg C to 70 deg C.Water does not boil at room temperature and so the comparison is somewhat nonsensical.
Mount everest has a high pressure to boil water?
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.
What is the boiling temperature of water on mount Everest?
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
What cause the temperature of the boiling point at the top of mount Everest different from the boiling point of pure water?
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.
What temperature Fahrenheit does water boil at the top to mt Everest?
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).
Does the boiling point of water increase or decrease on top of Mount Everest?
im not sure but im pretty sure it is neither. it is your face.
Why it is difficult to make tea on mount everest?
it is difficult to make tea on mount Everest because as we go higher the pressure is reduced and so the boiling point of water is decreased to 70 degrees so it is difficult to make tea on mount Everest by your friend Mohammed Khalid Mohammed 12 years living in Riyadh
Why does water boil at 71 degrees Celsius on mount Everest?
Boiling of a liquid: The temprature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the external pressure is called boiling point. So the atmospheric or external pressure on mount everest is low. Thats why water boils quickly.
