boiling temperature remains same. air temperature varies . in mountains air temperature is lower. as surrounding temperature is lower water boils faster.,.or in other words heat transfer occurs faster due to difffernce in temperature. sorry to disagree the higher you go the lower the boiling point due to atmospheric pressure ex.. on Everest they cannot boil water hot enough to make tea

My approach aside from above statements is:

since boiling occurs when the pressure applied by the high kinetic energy molecules of water becomes same as that of atmospheric pressure. And since the pressure at mountains is low therefore boling temperature is lower in the same way.

A good example is of pressure cooker,

due to steam tightness, high pressure is generated in pressure cookers which thus increases the temperature of water inside because the boiling point of water is increased. Thus cooking food at high temperatures in few minutes.

hope that the question is anwered. regards!:-)

What boils quicker oil water or washing up liquid?

Water boils quicker than oil and washing up liquid. This is because water has a lower boiling point compared to oil and washing up liquid. Oil and washing up liquid have higher boiling points, which means it will take longer for them to reach the boiling point compared to water.


Can you heat water to 120 C before it boils?

Water boils at 100 Celsius at a mercury barometer reading of 760mm. At higher pressures, the boiling point is higher. Conversely, at lower pressures - high up mountains, water boils at much lower temperatures.


Which boils quicker warm or cold water?

Warm water will generally boil faster than cold water because warm water is already starting with a higher temperature, so it requires less energy to reach the boiling point.


Does the temperature of the water, whether cold or warm, affect the rate at which it boils?

Yes, the temperature of the water does affect the rate at which it boils. Warmer water will boil faster than cold water because the molecules in warmer water have more energy and move faster, leading to a quicker boiling process.


How do pressure cookers work and are they really much quicker?

Pressure cookers work because when you increase pressure, water boils at a higher temperature. Water normally boils at 212 degrees F. Under 15psi of pressure (standard in a pressure cooker), it boils at 257 degrees F. Since your food is cooking at a higher temperature, it will cook faster.


Where does water go to when it boils?

When water boils, it turns into water vapor or steam. This water vapor rises into the air and eventually dissipates.


Is water boils quicker in Baguio than at the beach?

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.
