Good response.

This is Dr. Aussie's go-to.But do you claim that the universe is less than 6000 years old?
Or is the universe billions of years old?
Pixie is correct about the one specific temperature. But he missed your question.My OP in another post challenged the rationality of science on this point. I've not heard a sound answer to it, though, as it's easier to attack people than question something you held true.
Does it? Does water boil--at any consistent altitude--at a consistent temp?
Which is why I carefully specified the pressure in post 4.Pixie is correct about the one specific temperature. But he missed your question.
Water boils at different temperatures depending on the altitude.
Not sure if you are aware of this, but space travel is extremely expensive and takes a huge amount of effort. It is not like in Stars Wars where you can just jump into your ship and head up there....Ever want to boil water at a really low temperature?
Just take it to space. ...
Actually.... you did.Which is why I carefully specified the pressure in post 4.
"At a standard pressure of 100 kPa (1 bar) the boiling point of pure water is 99.61°C or 211.3°F. Always."
So no, Steve, I did NOT miss the question.

Ah.... so, I have to go out and spend a lot of money on a vacuum container to reduce the pressure so I can do that.... Thanks. I'll leave that to those with the budget to do so.If you really want to see water boil at room temperature, just reduce the pressure in the vessel.
As have others. I don't recall however needing to be the one who plays whack-a-mole, so they can be right.Cisco Qid already said this in post #10: "I have experimentally observed water boiling at room temperature in a near vacuum so obviously when you remove or vary the air pressure the boiling point changes."
If the room temperature is 20°C, reduce the pressure to 2.34 kPa, and it will boil. Rather easier than taking it to space; I have done it myself.
And yet I specifically stated at constant pressure.Actually.... you did.
I do however note that you can't even take a compliment without needing to throw a temper tantrum.
Woody's original post. Part of it anyway.... the main part.
Yeah, you would prefer to spend YOUR money on a spaceship.Ah.... so, I have to go out and spend a lot of money on a vacuum container to reduce the pressure so I can do that.... Thanks. I'll leave that to those with the budget to do so.
And yet you felt the need to call me out on this thread.As have others. I don't recall however needing to be the one who plays whack-a-mole, so they can be right.
Congratulations. You have made one point twice.The points I made still stands.
1- water boils at various temps, depending on the pressure. (something I actually learned at 12 yrs of age, during my first backpacking trip)
2- pressure is the determining factor of the temperature at which boiling occurs.
And yet I specifically stated at constant pressure.
wow.... really?You do know pressure varies with altitude, right?
Yeah, you would prefer to spend YOUR money on a spaceship.
It's my money.Good investment Steve.
All I did was to acknowledge that you were correct, for that specific temp/pressure.And yet you felt the need to call me out on this thread.
Mirror please.You words say one thing. Your actions another.
Well, had you not made such an issue out of the point I made the first time, I would've moved on, with the rest of my day, but it wasn't good enough for you to have left it alone.Congratulations. You have made one point twice.
And?Two weeks after the rest of us did.
As a side note, you might be able to raise the boiling point of water by adding cooking oil. I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot. If you can raise the freezing point of water by adding anti-freeze why not not raise the BPOW. But of course these are two diametrically opposed events.Actually.... you did.

So....
no shi8 sherlock! Thank you for stating the obvious.
I vaguely recall hearing something about this, but I've only ever used it to soften pasta. The boiling temp of olive oil is 356°F.As a side note, you might be able to raise the boiling point of water by adding cooking oil. I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.

Sounds like a good science project for some high school kid or an undergrad. Is the boil point proportional to the mixtures by mass or by volume? If not then plot the curve.I vaguely recall hearing something about this, but I've only ever used it to soften pasta. The boiling temp of olive oil is 356°F.
I'm sure someone, somewhere, has worked through this.Sounds like a good science project for some high school kid or an undergrad. Is the boil point proportional to the mixtures by mass or by volume? If not then plot the curve.
Actually, immiscible liquids boil at a lower temperature than either of the liquids on their own.As a side note, you might be able to raise the boiling point of water by adding cooking oil.
