Altitude Effects on Boiling Point
Key Concepts
- • Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude
- • Lower pressure = lower boiling point
- • ~1°C decrease per 300m elevation
- • Cooking times increase at altitude
- • Water boils at ~95°C at 1500m
Practical Applications
- • High-altitude cooking adjustments
- • Laboratory work at elevation
- • Distillation processes
- • Industrial applications
- • Aviation considerations
