Q. At $NTP$ water boils at $100 \,{}^{o}C$ . Deep down a mine, water will boil at a temperature

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

Pressure inside the mines is greater than that of normal pressure or atmospheric pressure. Also we know that boiling point increases with increase in pressure. Therefore water will boil at a temperature greater than $100^{o}C$ .
