The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.

How are melting and boiling points affected as altitude is increased?

Boiling point decrease at high altitude.


Does melting point and boiling point of liquid changes from altitude to altitude?

The boiling point depends on altitude (pressure). The effect on the melting point is not significant.


How do altitude affect freezing melting and boiling points of water?

As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases. This results in lower boiling points for water because there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on the water. However, the freezing point of water is not significantly affected by altitude.


Why are the freezing melting and boiling points lower on high altitude?

Heat is only energy. In areas of low pressure, such as high altitudes, "heat" particles, which are charged electrons, escape more quickly. As more "heat" (electrons) escapes more quickly, things freeze more quickly. As far as I know melting and boiling points are higher, not lower in high altitudes.


Does melting point change from altitude to altitude?

Yes, the melting point of a substance can change with altitude due to the variation in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, which can affect the boiling and melting points of substances. Generally, lower pressure at higher altitudes can result in lower melting points for many substances.


What is the property of matter that is dependent to altitude?

The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.

No, the boiling point decrease at high altitudes.


What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?

In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.


What is the boiling point of water in Mexico?

The boiling point of water in Mexico is the same as in most places, which is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level. However, the boiling point can vary slightly depending on altitude.
