The vapor pressure of a substance describes how readily molecules at the surface of the substance enter the gaseous phase. At the boiling point of a liquid, the liquid's vapor pressure is equal to or greater than the atmospheric pressure exerted on the surface of the liquid. Since the atmospheric pressure at higher elevations is lower than at sea level, the boiling point of water decreases as the elevation increases. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760. This pressure decreases by 19.8 mmHg for every 1000 ft increase in elevation.
Elevation Pressure
0 ft 760 mm Hg
1000 ft 740.2 mm Hg
2000 ft 720.4 mm Hg
The boiling point of water decreases 0.05°C for every 1 mm Hg drop in atmospheric pressure.
Required:
