The boiling point of any liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. So if the atmospheric pressure is lower, it will take a lower temperature to make the vapor pressure equal to that of atmospheric pressure. At hill-stations, the air is generally thinner due to the altitude and the atmospheric pressure is also lower. Here, it requires less than 100oC temperature to reach the point where the vapor pressure of water reaches that of air. So, water boils below 100oC at hill stations.

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.

How can water made to boil at 95 degrees celsius or 105 degrees celsius?

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. To boil water at 95 degrees Celsius, you can increase the pressure in a sealed container, which raises the boiling point. Similarly, to boil water at 105 degrees Celsius, you would need to decrease the pressure in a sealed container to lower the boiling point.

What would happen to a sample of water at 30 degrees c if it is heated until the temperature reaches 120 degrees c?

The water would first heat up and reach its boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius. Once it reaches 100 degrees Celsius, it would start boiling and convert into steam at a constant temperature of 100 degrees Celsius until all the water has evaporated.
