Oh, dude, you're really putting the pressure on me with this one! So, at 100 pounds per square inch (psi), the boiling point of water is around 327°F (163°C). Just remember, don't try to cook your pasta at that pressure unless you want it to turn into mush!

What is the boiling point of ethane at 175 psi?

The boiling point of ethane at 175 psi is approximately 137°F (58°C).


Is the boiling point of water always the same?

No. Though water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, it does so at sea level. But up a mountain where the air pressure is lower, water will boil at a lower temperature. We don't want to beat this up, but when we specify the boiling point of water, it is understood to be at "standard pressure" so there is no confusion. Standard pressure per IUPAC is an absolute pressure of 100 kPa, or 14.504 psi. It's a bit more per NIST. Because of the lower boiling point of water, cooking at high altitudes is an art; things cook differently. Anyone with some experience in the kitchen has seen a few recipes corrected for altitude. Pasta, rice and the like take a bit longer to cook at altitude because the boiling water isn't as hot as the boiling water at sea level. It's that lower pressure thing at work. If you were cooking in, say, Denver, Colorado, you'd notice a difference. Denver has the Mile-High City for a nickname because it's official elevation is 5280 feet. If you've never seen the demonstration showing warm water boiling when the container it is placed in has the air pumped out of it to lower the pressure, you need to check it out. YouTube has vids, and a link to one of them is below.


What is the boiling point of water at STP?

Water does not boil at STP. STP stands for standard temperature and pressure. You've got to either increase the temperature or decrease the pressure. Most likely you want to know what the boiling point of water is at standard pressure. This is complicated somewhat by the fact that STP is not as simple as it used to be and is now defined by IUPAC as 100 kPa but by NIST as 1 ATM (101.325 kPa). Using NIST standard pressure, the boiling point of water is 373.15 K; using IUPAC's value, it's 372.78 K (approximately... I couldn't find exactly 100 kPa in my vapor pressure tables, so I had to interpolate a little; that last digit may be off slightly). Somewhat less likely is that you want to know what pressure is required to make water boil at standard temperature. Again, two competing standards; IUPAC's is 273.15 K and NIST's is 293.15 K. IUPAC's value leads to a pressure of 4.579 Torr, which is 0.610 kPa; NIST's value yields a pressure of 17.535 Torr or 2.34 kPa. All values are straight from vapor pressure tables in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (60th Ed.) modulo a units conversion, except for the one for IUPAC standard pressure which I had to interpolate as noted above.


What is the standard atmosphere conditions for water to boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit?

Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at standard atmospheric pressure, which is equivalent to 1 atmosphere or 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). This is commonly referred to as the boiling point of water at sea level.


How many ounces of gas pressure is 6 of water column?

1 psi (pound per square inch) is equivalent to 27.7 inches of water column. Therefore, 6 inches of water column is approximately 0.216 psi. To convert psi to ounces per square inch, we can use the conversion factor: 1 psi = 2.036 oz/in^2. Therefore, 6 inches of water column is equivalent to approximately 0.44 oz/in^2.

What is the boiling point of water at 100 psi gage?

At 100 psi gauge pressure, the boiling point of water is approximately 324.7°F (162.6°C). This is higher than the standard atmospheric pressure boiling point of 212°F (100°C) due to the increased pressure causing the water to boil at a higher temperature.

What temperature would water boil at if the pressure was 5 psi absolute pressure?

At 5 psi absolute pressure, water would boil at approximately 165°F (74°C). This is lower than the normal boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure (212°F or 100°C) because the lower pressure reduces the boiling point of the water.

What is boiling temperature of water under 40 psi at sea level?

How can you get water to boil at 170 degrees c?

Water at ambient atmospheric pressure boils at 100C. One way of raising the boiling point is to raise the surrounding pressure. If you raise the pressure surrounding the water to about 93 psi above atmospheric, it will boil at about 170C. Do not try this at home! Boiling water at this pressure is extremely dangerous and can severely burn you.


Why the temperature inside an autoclave can be higher than 100 Celsius?

The temperature inside can be higher than the boiling point of water due to pressure; it is all relative. For instance at sea level water boils at 100 C / 212 F; but on top of Mount Everest it boils at 69C / 156 F. An autoclave runs at 30~35 PSI which translates to water boiling at 135C / 280F to 160C / 320F. The higher the pressure the higher the temperature.
