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.

Would you expect the boiling point of water in Baguio city be higher or lower that 100 degree Celsius why?

This has been asked over and over recently. Is this part of an exam or a class? Boiling point decreases with altitude because there is less pressure. The water will boil when the vapor pressure equals the air pressure. Baguio city is about 1500-1600 meters above sea level, making its temperatures roughly 8 degrees C less than the sea level areas of the Phillipines. For every 1000 feet in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases about 1 degree C. Very roughly, Baguio city is at 4500 feet elevation. The boiling point of water at Baguio city should be about 4.5 degrees C less than 100 degrees C, or 95.5 degrees C.


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.


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.
