boiling point of water in calgary?

[nonofyobiz]

Does anyone know what it is exactly?

[Cos]

google much?

second hit, gives you an exact answer on page 2 and then show you how to account for varying ambient temperature.

I get around 205 degrees F.

96.11*C

I'm voting for who the fuck cares? :dunno:

[georgemagana]

check the steam tables ! 96 sounds about right

~369K

also, keep in mind that tap water has impurities, which will change the boiling point. distilled water is what you need if you are going to be exact.

It will change when the atmospheric pressure changes, so the exact answer is there is none.

I remember a couple of second year engineering courses where we used 96° as an approximation

Since nobody else has asked...

What are you doing that you need a precise number?

96*C
the elevation and lower air pressure allows water to expand to its gas state with less energy.

I hear that at the top of mount everest water boils are 52*c

Depends what you are using to heat the water with.

It's none of your business.

[Cos]

Meth labs use water dont they

Yeah that. It will vary depending on heat source, for eg. Natural gas flame vs. campfire flame vs. underpass hobo garbage bin flame.

[ExtraSlow]

to a certain extent that is true. It's possible to superheat water with a microwave, but very difficult to accomplish that same result with the Hobo-stove (tm) mentioned above.
Ain't technology wonderful?

Precision boiling. It's the latest thing.

:facepalm:
That doesn't affect the boiling point at all. Just the time required to GET to the boiling point.
