General: Boiling Point At higher altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures. This is why at high altitudes foods must be boiled for longer times—the lower boiling point imparts less heat to the food. At an altitude of h thousand feet above sea level, water boils at a temperature of B(h) = -1.8h+212 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the altitude at which water boils at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. (Your answer will show that at a high enough altitude, water boils at normal body temperature. This is why airplane cabins must be pressurized—at high enough altitudes one’s blood would boil.)
