Boiling point of water at sea level in Fahrenheit?
212F for pure water.
What is the boiling point of water on sea level?
995 degrees celcius
How do you think boiling of water will change on sea level as compared to boiling water on a mountain top?
I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.
What is the temperature of boiling water at sea level?
The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 100 The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 211.149°F.
Why altitude affects boiling point?
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.

Are you mountain boiling point of water what?
Decreases
Does water boil faster at sea level than on the top of a mountain?
Water boils faster on top of a mountain than at sea level because the boiling point of water is reduced with reduced atmospheric pressure.
What is dependency of pressure and boiling point?
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
What is the boiling point of water on top of Kilimanjaro?
The boiling point of water at 5 895 m (Kilimanjaro Mountain) is 79,52 0C.
What happens to its temperature when water is boiling?
The temperature of boiling water stays the same. At sea level, that is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. At higher elevations, say on a tall mountain, the boiling point of water is less and less, the higher you go.
What is the boiling point of warm water?
The boiling point of water is 100°C or 212° F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level).
Does boiling point of water change as you move above sea level?
yes the boiling point changes with elevation. the higher the elevation the lower the boiling point.
How do you raise the boiling point of water on a mountain?
If you want and if it is possible by an increase of pressure.
What if the boiling point of water Celsius?
About 100 at sea level
What is the boiling point of water in desert?
The boiling point of water depends upon the elevation above sea level. At sea level, water boils at 100 degrees C. The boiling point decreases as altitude increases. The boiling pint in a desert would depend upon the elevation of that particular location in a desert.
Boiling point of water at sea level in Fahrenheit?
212F for pure water.
What is the boiling point degrees in Fahrenheit?
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
