Will the temperature go higher or lower if you add salt to the water?

Adding salt to water will lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of the water, but it will not directly affect the temperature at which the water is heated or cooled.


Does the temperature of the water change the boiling point?

The boiling point of water depends only on pressure, not ambient temperature. The only correlation between climate temperature and boiling point would come about from the fact that cold climates in temperate parts of the Earth are usually at higher elevations than warmer climates and therefore have lower atmospheric pressure.


Why do foods require longer microwave cooking time at higher atitudes?

The boiling point of water goes down at higher altitudes, and so foods take longer to cook (because the temperature of the food doesn't usually exceed the boiling point of water).See the Related Questions about how elevation effects the boiling point of water.


Why is the boiling point of water lower in Shimla than in Delhi?

I think that Shimla is at higher elevation than Delhi is. If that is the case, than it is because the barometric pressure goes down at higher elevations.See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer for more about how the boiling point of water is affected by the air pressure.


What is the boiling point of water at a higher altitidue than sea level?

Yes it does. Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. The higher one goes the lower the pressure. If the pressure is lower then the water does not need as much vapor pressure in order to boil, and thus the temperature is lower.

What cause the temperature of the boiling point at the top of mount Everest different from the boiling point of pure water?

Pressure is much lower at the top of Mount Everest. PV=nRT. If pressure, P, goes down, then T, temperature, goes down. More temperature must be added.

Why does water boil faster in the mountains than the city?

Water boils faster in the mountains because the air pressure is lower at higher altitudes. Lower air pressure reduces the boiling point of water, causing it to reach boiling temperature faster than at sea level where air pressure is higher.

What happens to the temperature of boiling water when heat is added to the boiling water?

If you add energy to a boiling liquid, it will just boil faster, but the temperature will remain the same, at the boiling point. All the energy goes into phase change, not heating.


What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.

The boiling temperature of water is so much higher than that of methane because water molecules are?

d.polarWater molecules are polar covalent and therefore form attractions between the molecules called hydrogen bonds. Much of the heat that goes into raising the temperature of water to its boiling point goes to breaking the hydrogen bonds first.


When was the boiling point of water established?

Slightly back to front. People have been boiling water for ages the "boiling point" ie when it goes from liquid to gas happens at a certain temperature - we choose to call this temperature 100 degrees C (or 212F or 373K) The temperature scales were set up in 1724 for F and 1744 for C and 1848 for K In fact the temperature of boiling water was used as a fixed point to setup C from which K is based.


Does water vapor change to liquid water?

when water vapor turns to liquid water, it needs to condensate, when its temperature goes below 100 degrees, which is water's boiling point, for it to turn into liquid.


What goes in boiling water to turn black?

Tea leaves go in boiling water to turn black.
