That question has been asked about 4 times in the past week or so -- wierd...
Here's the answer from one of the other (identical) questions.

I have seen both 199.5 and 198.5 listed, so you'll have to do more research on those answers, because they both gave references (but I think the 198.5 is correct).
Don't listen to anyone that says it's 212 degrees, because I live at almost 6000' myself, and water does NOT boil at 212 -- it takes things a LOT longer to cook on my stove, than at lower elevations.

Water boils at 212°F (sea level), and simmers at 190°F.
For each thousand feet above sea level, the boiling point of water drops almost 2° F.
above 198 F

You just need help with homework, right? Me too. I am trying to figure out the causes and effects of tides, maybe you should look in google, or ask a friend.

use that, convert it to mm of Hg, then calculate using PV=nRT and remember to use the temp in degrees kelvin
