As altitude increases, pressure decreases, so boiling point decreases, so the liquid would boil at a lower temperature and would not be able to get as hot and remain a liquid. As pressure is increased, boiling point increases, meaning the liquid could get hotter than normal and remain a liquid.

PV=nRT - pressure x volume = the number of moles x constant x temperature

What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?

As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.


What happens to pressure as altitude increased?

As altitude increases (i.e. when you get higher) pressure falls off inversely; a change near the higher reaches will not have as much of a pressure differential as the same distance change lower down.


Why does the boiling temperature of water decrease when the water is under reduced pressure such as it is in a higher altitude?

At higher altitudes, there is reduced atmospheric pressure, which leads to a lower boiling point of water. This happens because with lower pressure, it is easier for water molecules to escape into the air as vapor. Therefore, at higher altitudes, water reaches its vapor pressure (boiling point) at a lower temperature than at sea level.

What happens to water at 100 Celsius as pressure is increased from 0.8 ATM to 1.2 ATM?

As pressure is increased from 0.8 ATM to 1.2 ATM at 100 degrees Celsius, the boiling point of water also increases due to the higher pressure. This means that the water will remain in liquid form rather than boiling into steam until the new, higher boiling point is reached.


What happens to water at 100C as pressure is increased from pressure 0.8 (ATM) to 1.2 pressure (ATM)?

As pressure increases from 0.8 ATM to 1.2 ATM, the boiling point of water also increases. Therefore, at 100°C and 0.8 ATM, water would boil, but at 1.2 ATM, the water would need to be heated to a higher temperature to reach the new boiling point under the increased pressure.


Does Increasing the pressure of a liquid lower its boiling point?

No, increasing the pressure of a liquid actually raises its boiling point. This is because higher pressure increases the kinetic energy required for molecules to escape the liquid phase and enter the gas phase, which raises the temperature needed for boiling to occur.


What is boiling point in degrees celsius of water?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees C, but only at sea level, or in other words, at an atmospheric pressure of 1013.2 millibars. As the altitude increases (or the pressure decreases, same thing), the boiling point goes down. This happens at the rate of about 1 degree C for every thousand feet of altitude gained or for every 35 millibars of pressure lost. The boiling point of pure water is 100 0C at 760 mm col. Hg. ((101.325 kPa of atmospheric pressure). This is not a coincidence. The Celsius scale was originally defined around the boiling and freezing points of water.

What happens at a liquid's boiling point?

Boiling. A liquid boils at a temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it.
