MCQ
At NTP, water boils at 100°C. Deep down the mine, water will boil at a temperature.
- A100°C
- ✓> 100°C
- C< 100°C
- Dwill not boil at all
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
> 100°C
b. Deep down the mine, pressure of air increases. This increases the boiling point of water. Hence, water will boil at a temperature > 100°C.
