How can the boiling point of water be changed?
The boiling point of water can be changed by altering the pressure. For instance if you increase the pressure like in a pressure cooker the water won’t boil until around 120 celsius depending on the setting, meaning that water can go higher temperature and therefore cook food quicker – handy! Similarly at lower pressure like up a high mountain water can boil at a lower temperature, for instance 90 celsius. In a truly low pressure environment such as space your blood would boil as the pressure is too little to stop it – rather unfortunate – and hence the need for space suits!
