Question

Line d represents water. if the atmospheric pressure in a flask is lowered to 70 kpa, water would boil at what temperature?

Answer 1

The diagram is in the picture attached.
Options are:
A) 32 °C
B) 70 °C
C) 92 °C
D) 100 °C

In order to find the value required, you need to look at the diagram and follow these steps:
1) search for the value of 70 kPa on the y-axis;
2) move on a horizontal line towards the right until you reach the line D;
3) move on a vertical line down, towards the x-axis;
4) read at what value of °C you are at.

Doing so, you can see that you are at a value a little bit above 90 °C (see picture).

Hence, the correct answer is C) 92°C.
