Compare the boiling point of water at sea level (Metro Manila) and in a Mountain Top (Baguio city).?

The boiling point at the mountain top will be lower.

the difference in the boiling point of this soln compared to pure water equals Kb times m, where Kb is the boiling point constant(0.512 for water) and m is the molality of the soln.\nso the answer si 100.512 degrees C.

It mainly depends on the pressure (if we are talking about pure water). The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point - it can be much lower (ex. high in the mountains) or much higher than 100 degrees C (the boiling point under normal atmospheric pressure). If we don't talk about pure water, then adding other chemicals (for example, table salt - sodium chloride) can raise the boiling point as well.

henryclayc1949 has the most compelling answer, in my opinion. I thought I would add just a bit more to help.  \n\nTap water, and in fact most water that one encounters, has dissolved gases in it, which are liberated as the solubility of air decreases as the water warms up (this is one of the things that is such a concern about the greenhouse effect; as the ocean warms, extra carbon dioxide  will come out of solution in the ocean). \n\nAs the water gets warmer, some vaporizes, forming water vapor bubbles. The pressure in the water vapor bubbles has to exceed the pressure of their surroundings to survive. On the bottom of the container, the vapor pressure in the bubbles has to exceed the pressure at that location. At the top of the container, the required vapor pressure is less, obviously. \n\nThis is less energy (and therefore temperature) is required to boil water on top of a mountain than at sea level.

Ignore harsha.  A 1 atm decrease in pressure would mean zero pressure at 100 meters above sea level, which is absurd.\n\nPressure decreases as you rise because the total mass of the atmosphere weighing down on you decreases.  High pressure means you need more energy to make water boil, so at sea level the boiling point will be higher than it will be on a mountain top.

well lets see, if cold water is anything above 0 Centigrade and hot water is anything under boiling....my money is on the hot winning. What I can not understand is why you asked?

c basically boiling of a liquid means the vapour pressure[pressure created at surface] equals the atmospheric pressure.the increase in vapour pressure is due to the fact that the kinetic energy of molecules movin thermal velocities because of increase in temp. therefore for some molecules the time taken by molecules to achieve this situation is faster as the molecules have diff forces of attraction .hence to break the forces and achieve the above situ. is diff for diff. liquids \n\n\nhope this is satisfactory any more queries  mail me

See my question about the age of the Appalachian Mountains.  And the similarities/ differences w/ Himalayans.  Oh yeah, Does hot water freeze faster than cold water?  If so, why?

Water always evaporates. Higher temperatures will increase the evaporation rate, but water always evaporates. It has no relation with the boiling point; evaporation is a different phenomenon.\n\nExtracted from wikipedia:\n"It is a misconception that at 1 atm, water vapor only exists at 100 °C. Water molecules are in a constant state of evaporation and condensation flux near the surface of liquid water. "

Denver, Colorado, has a higher elevation than Los Angeles, California.  That means that when the water is boiling in Denver, the temperature is lower, so it takes longer to cook stuff because your temperature is lower.

I think you mean water saturation point, right?  If so, that's the dew point.

Tap water. Dissolved salt raises the boiling point, so salt water  takes longer to boil.

a) a lower freezing point than pure water

Boiling point of anything is dependent on pressure.... higher the pressure lower the boiling point...\nWhen you try to boil an egg on mountain.. coz the pressure there is quite low.. it take longer for water to boil and thus egg.

It depends on the purity of the water and the pressure of the system.  Pure water in normal atmospheric pressure boils at 212 F.
