Will water boil at 80 degrees celsius?

Answer 1

The only way to do this would be to reduce the air pressure in the vessel in which you were boiling the water - there would need to be a significant decrease in pressure to bring the boiling point down to 50 degrees though.

Answer 2

The 100 degree mark is for water is subject to air pressure at sea level, As altitude increases, both air pressure and the boiing point decrease. We lived in Colorado at 7200 ft above sea level- water there boils at 198 F, 92 C.

Answer 3

This is fairly simple if you know Gay-Lussac's gas law: P1/T1=P2/T2. Filling in the data you supplied we get: 101325 Pa / 373 K = P2 / 353 K

From this follows the pressure required for water to boil at 80 C (P2): 95892 Pa. This pressure is present around 500 meters above sea level.

Answer 4

Boiling point is not only dependant on temperature is is also dependant on pressure. The lower the pressure the lower the temperature

Answer 5

Water will boil at 80 degrees Celsius if the air pressure is low enough. The boiling point of water depresses about .3 degrees for every 250 feet rise in elevation.

Answer 6

The more usual boiling point for water in the Celsius scale is 100 degrees.

Answer 7

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. However, at higher altitudes where atmospheric pressure is lower, water can boil at temperatures lower than 100 degrees Celsius.

Answer 8

Yes, but only at very very low pressure.
