At what temperature, in degrees Celsius, does water boil at an altitude of 1500 m (about 5000 ft) on a day when atmospheric pressure at that altitude is 8.59 × 104 Pa?

Answer:


95^(\circ) C

Step-by-step explanation:

In reference to the book called College Physics the first edition, the back of the textbook, precisely table 13.5 gives various vapour pressure and saturation density of water at different temperatures. For this case, considering the pressure given, the table shows that the temperature of
95^(\circ) C is when water boils considering the altitude given.
