At a high altitude, water reaches its boiling point at a lower temperature because of a lower air pressure holding it in its liquid form.
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
At this altitude (2150-2200 ft) water will boil at about 97.8 oC . It also depends on the weather (high/low pressure).This is calculated according to 'Water Altitude Boiling Point Calculator' (Cf. 'Related links' just below this answer. Select on opened site page the 2nd button 'What is the local altitude' in ft. or m.).
That depends on the air pressure. At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit. As air pressure decreases, the boiling point of water also decreases. So it is possible for water to boil at 175 degrees fahrenheit if it were taken to a high enough altitude.
No. The higher the altitude the more difficult, and fuel expensive, to boil water.
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure. However, the boiling point can vary depending on altitude and atmospheric conditions. To ensure water reaches a consistent boil, it is recommended to heat it until it reaches 100 degrees Celsius at sea level.
At high altitude
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
At this altitude (2150-2200 ft) water will boil at about 97.8 oC . It also depends on the weather (high/low pressure).This is calculated according to 'Water Altitude Boiling Point Calculator' (Cf. 'Related links' just below this answer. Select on opened site page the 2nd button 'What is the local altitude' in ft. or m.).
You would have to be somewhere VERY up high. the change in altitude would decrease the boiling point.
Because the air pressure is lower then at sealevel, the boiling temperature of the water is lower. Unless you have a (high) pressure cooker.
At an altitude of 1000 metres, pure water will boil at approx 96.5 deg C
Water boils at 100°C at normal atmospheric pressure. However, if the pressure decreases, as in high altitudes, the boiling point of water decreases as well. This is why water may boil at a temperature lower than 100°C in high-altitude areas.
That depends directly on the altitude. On top of Mt Everest, the boiling point of water is so cool that it is nearly impossible to cook anything. At pretty high altitudes, you might have to boil the egg for an hour.
This is probably due to the lower atmospheric pressure found at such an altitude.
Due to the high altitude the atmospheric pressure is much lower than at sea level. This allows the water to boil at a much lower temperature. Since boiling occurs when the vapor pressure reaches the atmospheric pressure. Since you can't get water hotter than the boiling point your cup at such a high altitude will never get very hot.
Baguio City, Phillipines lies at almost a mile elevation above sea level (4,760 feet). At this altitude, water will boil at about 85°C. The boiling point of water at sea level is 100°C. While at altitude water will boil faster, the temp will remain lower.
