Question

Pure water boils at a temperature of 212*F at which of the following standard conditions?

1) 0°C and 1 atm
2) 100°C and 1 atm
3) 0°C and 0 atm
4) 100°C and 0 atm

Answer 1

Pure water boils at a temperature of 212*F at 100°C and 1 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boiling point of pure water depends on the pressure. At 1 atm pressure, water boils at exactly 100°C. However, the question asks at which of the given standard conditions does pure water boil at 212°F. Since 212°F is equivalent to 100°C, the correct option is 2) 100°C and 1 atm.
