Question

The planet Venus is surrounded by a thick layer of gases. In fact, the atmospheric pressure on Venus is over 90 times greater than the atmospheric pressure on Earth. Which statements are true about boiling water on Venus? Choose the two statements that apply. A. Water will boil at a higher temperature on Venus than on Earth. B. Water will boil at a lower temperature on Venus than on Earth. C. The temperature of water will remain constant while it boils. D. The temperature of water will increase as it boils.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. water will boil at a lower temperature on Venus than on Earth.

Explanation:

Because temperature and pressure are directly proportional... increase in pressure will increase in the atmospheric temperature.... Venus has higher pressure than earth that also means it has higher atmospheric temperature and as the temperature is already high the water will require lesser heat to boil
