no because at the top of the mountain its less pressure than at the sea level so it will take more time to boil

Where is faster to boil on top of the mountain or on the ground of a mountain?
on the top of the mountain as pressure is greater so water will boil quicker
Where does water boil at less than 100 degrees Celsius?
On top of a mountain
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.
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.
Why Poes water on top of a mountain boil at a lower temperature than at sea level?
It is the effect of air pressure. The air pressure at the top of a mountain is less than the air pressure at sea level. The effect of air pressure on a water surface is to prevent or oppose water molecules escaping from the surface. The greater the air pressure, the more heat energy is needed to allow the water molecules to escape and so at sea level the water will boil at a higher temperature than if it were on top of a mountain.
Why does water on top of a mountain boil at a lower temperature than at 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 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 happens to the boiling point of water at higher elevations where atmospheric pressure is less?
The temperature decreases. For example if you want to boil and egg on top of a mountain then it will take longer.
Why water sometimes begins to start vapourising on its own on top of highly elevated mountains?
At normal temperatutes, it's not going to. It's true that boiling point depends on ambient pressure, which is how pressurised car radiators can operate above 100C, and that the water you boil for a cup of tea on a mountain top isn't as hot as in your kitchen, but you still need temperatures in the 50c-plus range, *much more* than ambient temperature at the summit of mount Everest. Wikipedia has some entries that will let you get the exact math, check out the Antoine Equation.
If you boil water at the top of a mountain would you expect it to boil at 100 degree Celsius explain?
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
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
