As you go up in altitude the boiling point of water either drops or rises What is the correct answer?
As you go higher the pressure decreases and the boiling point decreases too, this is because on surface of the earth the molecules are close together than as you go higher e.g if water boils at 100 deg C at sea level, on mount Everest water would boil at around 70 deg C. so pressure is very important factor in all our daily lives
What else can I help you with?
If you have five drops of boiling water and five gallons of boiling water which is hotter?
they are both equally hot, but the5 gallons of boiling water has more energy. If I had a choice of "boiling water torture" technique that would be used on me, I'd take the "5 drops" option. Still 100 degrees centigrade, but much less heat energy.
What is boiling point of water at 6000ft?
The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees F). The boiling point depends on a substance's vapor pressure, which in turn is dependent on pressure. So, at significant altitude (reduced pressure), water's boiling point drops. Decreased pressure at altitude lowers the temperature of boiling water by about six degrees C per 1000 meters (or about two degrees F per 1000 feet). This general formula can be used to estimate the boiling point at your altitude (for areas below sea level, add instead of subtract). For this reason, boxes of foods with boiling instructions will usually give 'high altitude cooking instructions.' The reason is that the temperature of boiling water is precisely 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and this is the temperature that the usual (sea level) directions expect. If the actual cooking temperature at your location, say at the top of a mountain, is only 192 degrees, then your food will need to cook significantly longer, if cooked 20 degrees cooler. This is also where the concept of the pressure cooker arose; cooks found that they could cook food hotter and faster using water, if the container was airtight enough to allow pressure to build.
Why when altitude increasestemperature decreases in the troposphere?
With altitude, gravitational pull on the air decreases, which means the air expands and air pressure drops. When any gas expands, it cools off.
What is the boiling point of water in Wisconsin?
The boiling point of water in Wisconsin is the same as in any other location, which is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level. However, the boiling point can vary slightly with changes in altitude.
How much does air cool as you get higher?
On average, the temperature drops about 3.5°F (2°C) for every 1,000 feet (300 meters) you go up in altitude. This is known as the adiabatic lapse rate, and it accounts for the decrease in air pressure with altitude.
Does raising the elevation of a bowl of water lower the boiling point for that water?
As the air pressure drops the boiling point of water (or any substance) will also drop. The higher your altitude the lower the air pressure.
Does water boil at high temperature at high altitude?
It depends on barometric pressure rather than height ... but approximately at 2000 feet the boiling point drops to 208 degrees at 7000 feet the boiling point is about 199 degrees.
If a jet plane is flying at an altitude of 8000 meters drops 600 meters what is the new altitude?
8600
A few drops of oil is wasted or a few drops of oil are wasted - Which is correct?
A few drops of oil are wasted is correct. The subject is drops, and it is plural.
How does the altitude effect the size of a balloon?
As the external pressure drops with increasing altitude, balloons generally expand with height.

Does the rain or do the rain which is correct?
Grammatically, "Does the rain" is correct. Rain may represent many individual rain drops, which is why "Do rain drops" would be correct, however rain represents it as a whole, so "Does the rain" is the appropriate form.
What is the boiling temperature of water in the US customary system?
At sea level the normal boiling temperature is 212 °F. As you go up in elevation, the boiling temperature drops.
What is the temperature 20000 feet altitude?
The boiling point of water at an elevation of 2300 feet is approximately 207.89 degrees F or 97,717 degrees C. The boiling point of water at an elevation of 2300 meters is 198.243 degrees F or 92.357 degrees C.
