Would the boiling point of water be higher or lower on a mountain peakhow would the boiling point be affected in a pressurized system?

Answer 1

The higher the pressure being exerted on the water, the lower the boiling point becomes. Yes the boiling point is affected in a pressurized system. If you put water in a sealed container and kept raising the pressure it will eventually reach it's boiling point without the need of adding heat.

Answer 2

The boiling point of water would be lower on a mountain peak due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher elevations. In a pressurized system, the boiling point of water would be higher because increased pressure raises the boiling point of a substance.
