| | Boiling Points |
 | | We define a "normal" boiling point as the boiling point of the liquid at 1 atm, or another way of saying this is that the "normal" boiling point is the temperature at which the liquid's vapor pressure is equal to 1 atm. |
 | | Because the boiling point of water is about 90 degrees C at this altitude., not only will our camper find that his food will cook a little slower than normal, any attempt to boil water to kill germs and pathogens may be unsuccessful since the water isn't getting hot enough. |
 | | Boiling chips are small, insoluble, stones made of calcium carbonate, silicon carbide, or carbon (crushed coal) just to name a few. |
