Question

Which of the temperatures below is most likely to be the boiling point of water at 880 torr?

Answer 1

In determining the answer, we need to convert 880 torr to atm.

880 torr(1 atm/760 torr) = 1.157894737 atm (760 torr equals 1 atm)

Since water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at 1 atm, we multiply 1.157894737 atm with 100 degrees Celsius =

we would get 115.7894737 degrees Celsius.
