Question

Singapore’s average altitude above sea level is
15 m while that of LaPaz, Bolivia’s capital is
3640 m. Water boils at 100ºC in Singapore.
Which of the following can be boiling point of
water in LaPaz?

Answer 1

Answer:

As a result, the boiling point of water is lower on tall mountain peaks.

For example, on top of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m (29029 ft) elevation, the pressure is about 34 kPa (255 Torr) and the boiling point of water is 71°C (160 °F).

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.
