this is somewhat a guess but somehow reducing the pressure will cause it to boil at a lower temperature because the molecules will be closer together and not need as much energy to collide... this is somewhat a guess but somehow reducing the pressure will cause it to boil at a lower temperature because the molecules will be closer together and not need as much energy to collide...

Yes. There are two factors that determine a liquids boiling point: temperature and pressure. For water to be boiled at 20oC (room temperature - more or less), it would have to be subjected to about 2.339 kilopascals.

The molecules of liquid water are always in motion. Some of the molecules escape the surface tension of the water and get picked up by the air in the room (as long as the air is not too humid to be able to pick up more moisture). This is called evaporation. The water molecules in boiling water move around even faster and so the water evaporates more quickly. In either case, the water eventually becomes a water vapour, a gas.

You must decrease the pressure. with the help of vacuum pump or go to higher altitudes as peak k2 or mount everest....

Altitude can affect the temperature at which water boils, because the pressure changes.

if u live in Ecuador u can

you can lower the boiling point of a liquid by putting it in a vacuum. for Water boiling point at ~18000 microns = 69 degrees.

What does state at room temperature mean?

It means whether the substance in question is solid, liquid or gas at normal room temperature, so you could assume that about 20 degrees celsius. Oxygen is a gas at room temperature Water is a liquid at room temperature Iron is a solid at room temperature.


How hot does water have to be in order to evaporate?

depends on air pressure, if you remove air from a container with water in it it can boil at room temp boiling point is the temperature at which water boils and i believe it is also the evaporating point so 100f*


What is good water temperature for hydroponic systems?

Room temp.


Do you need to leave hot and cold water on to keep it from freezing?

Given that you are not changing the fluid in your water heater, and your heating source is 100% efficient, and you are paying a constant rate for your heating source, then turn off your water heater. Reason: The water in your water heater will always try to return to room temperature. The rate it returns to the room temperature is governed by the insulation around the water heater and the difference in temperature between your set point and the room temperature. So to keep the water heated to the set temperature, it requires adding the heat that passes through the insulation over time. If your water cools some amount, lets say 10 degrees, there exists a smaller temperature difference between the water temperature and the room temperature, and the cooling rate slows. This is why there is savings if you turn down your room temperature in the winter, or the water temperature.


What is the room temperature in Celsius?

Room temperature is different in every room so I cant tell you what it is but I can tell you how to find out! Take any thermometer or a tool that measures heat (in celsius for your matter) and take a cup of water. Let the water sit for an hour inside the room that you find out the room temperature. Then put your thermometer in it and see what it measures to :) 20 degrees celcius

Is it okay if you boil water before putting it in your betta's bowl?

Its ok as long as you let the water cool to room temperature before adding the water back to the bowl, or adding the betta to the water. Also, it is completely unnesseary to boil before putting in your betta's bowl.

Which water cold or hot would be denser at room temperature?

good try,but water at room temp. has the same density. Unless you boil water and compare,my research shows boiled water has less density.


Does the larger the quantity of water result in a higher temperature at which the water will boil?

Technically speaking, boiling is when the pressure inside the system is equal to that of the surroundings. That means that you can boil water at room temperature if you have a vacuum pump. If you mean just to the heat that it starts to boil at STP, then no, it doesn't. Boiling point at STP is and always will be 100 degrees Celsius.
