What is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure at sea-level and

45^{∘}

latitude of water on the Celsius scale?

$50^{∘} {C}$
$150^{∘} {C}$
$200^{∘} {C}$
$100^{∘} {C}$

Solution:

At sea-level, water boils at

100^{∘} {C}

(212^{∘} {F})

. The boiling point of a liquid varies according to the applied pressure.
The normal boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure is equal to the standard sea-level atmospheric pressure. At a lower pressure (higher altitude), water will boil at a lower temperature.
