Does water boil at a lower level above sea level?
First understand that the boiling of water occurs when the energy of water molecules is equal to the vapour pressure... (i.e energy of water is equal to the external pressure due to the atmosphere)... above sea level the atmospheric pressure is lower hence low energy is required... hence water boil at low temperature...
Is water boils quicker in Baguio than at the beach?
Baguio City, Phillipines lies at almost a mile elevation above sea level (4,760 feet). At this altitude, water will boil at about 85°C. The boiling point of water at sea level is 100°C. While at altitude water will boil faster, the temp will remain lower.
How fast does water boil at sea level?
around about 100'c
Does water boil the same at sea level as it does at higher elevations?
Due to lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, water will boil at lower temperature.
Why does water on top of a mountain boil at lower temperature than a sea level?
Boiling and evaporation are basically the same change of phase -- from a liquid (water) to water vapor or steam. One of the factors of when this phase change occurs is "pressure". You can make water "boil" in a closed container without adding "heat" by simply by rapidly expanding the size of the container. Atmospheric pressure (literally the 'weight' of the air above) at mountain altitudes is less that it is at sea level. As a result, it takes less heat to make water evaporate or "boil" on top of a mountain.
How long do you boil raw chicken?
About 45 mins at a full boil. NEVER boil only gently simmer. 45 minutes about right
Does water boil above 100 Celsius?
No. When water reaches 100 Celsius it becomes steam and is no longer boiling water.
Will water boil at 97.0 degrees Celsius in the US?
No, since there is no such thing as degrees "celius". Water will boil at 97.0 degrees Celsius at approx 850 metres above sea level.

Can water boil at 95C or 105C?
Yes - it depends on the height above or below sea level; so not always 100C as expected.
Can you boil water with candle?
Certainly. However, the amount would be very small. A tablespoon of water will boil fairly quickly. A big pan would take much longer than the candle would last.
Predict whether water would boil on top of a mountain at a higher or lower temperature than at sea level?
Water would boil higher at the top of a mountain than at sea level. This is because there is less atmospheric pressure at higher elevations.
What causes radiator boil over in 1998 blazer?
it has a cracked head The above answer would be an extreme condition to cause this problem. Usually a car overheats because of either low coolant level or a stuck or bad thermostat.
What would happen to the boiling point of water at 8000 m above sea level where air pressure is lower?
You would probably be at a higher altitude, and your water would boil below the usual value of ~100 degrees.
What temperature will water boil a town located 2500 m above sea level?
The boiling point of water at 2 500 m is 91,673 0C.
Do all liquids boil?
No. There are liquids that boil at a few degrees above absolute zero (helium for example) and liquids that boil at several thousand degrees above absolute zero (tungsten for example)
Why vegetables are cooked with difficulty at a hill station?
At high altitudes, the boiling point of water is lower than at sea level. Therefore, you may have to boil vegetables for longer.
