Answer 1

Answer:

At pressures greater than 1 atm, water will boil at (a) a temperature higher than 100 degree.

Explanation:

By definition, the  boiling point  of a liquid is the conditions of temperature and pressure when the  vapour pressure  of the liquid is equal to the ambient pressure and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. The  normal boiling point  is specified when the ambient pressure is  1 ⋅a t m .

This underlies the principle of vacuum distillation, where an otherwise involatile liquid may be distilled at REDUCED pressure, and the material may be purified somewhat.

If the ambient pressure is somehow increased the temperature required for  boiling  also increases.
