If the equilibrium is altered such that the gaseous form is favoured, then the boiling point will be lower as more water molecules will want to evaporate.
One way to do this is to lower pressure. If you decrease the pressure on a container of water, there will be less air pressure at the surface of the solution, and more water molecules will spontaneously have sufficient energy to vaporise into gas. At high altitudes, such as atop the Himalayas, the boiling point of water approaches 90 degrees, 10 degrees lower than at sea level, for this very reason.

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.
What is the effect of decreased pressure on boiling point and freezing point of water?
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower
Why does ethylene glycol increase the boiling point of water?
Ethylene glycol has a higher boiling point and a lower vapour pressure than water.
Is boiling soup different then boiling just water?
Other than the obvious differences, the process of dissolving something with a lower vapor pressure (higher boiling point) into water will cause the resulting solution to have an overall lower vapor pressure and therefore a higher boiling point.
Which has a lower boiling point butane or water?
benzene has lower boiling point than water
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.
Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?
Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.
Why can't and alcohol thermometer be used to measure the boiling point of water?
Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than 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.
What happens to water if you lower its pressure?
you lower its boiling point.
Does salt lower the boiling point?
Yes, Salt also lowers the freezing point of water, and lowers the boiling point of water. Add salt to a boiling pot of water and it immediately boils faster/harder at the location that the Salt hit the water.
What is the effect of decreased pressure on boiling point and freezing point of water?
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower
The boiling point of water in Nevada?
It depends where you are in Nevada. The boiling point will be lower in areas at a higher elevation.
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.
Is the boiling point of water higher than the boiling point of water?
physiological answers tell us that In neurology water may be boiling at a lower substantial rate then non water water.
What are the procedures for fresh water evaporates faster than salt water?
The boiling point of pure water is lower than the boiling point of salt water.
