Question

what is the relationship between the altitude and the boiling point of liquids? a the higher the altitude the higher the boiling point. b the higher the altitude the lower the boiling point. c the lower the altitude the lower the boiling point. d there is no relationship between altitude and boiling point.

Explanation:

Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. With lower external pressure, less energy (lower temperature) is needed for the liquid's vapor pressure to match it, resulting in a lower boiling point.

Answer:

B. The higher the altitude the lower the boiling point.
