At NTP water boils at 100 oC . Deep down a mine, water will boil at a temperature

Question

At NTP water boils at 100 oC . Deep down a mine, water will boil at a temperature (A) 100oC (B) >100oC (C)  < 100oC (D) will not boil at all

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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 100oC .

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

$10 0^{o} C$

$> 10 0^{o} C$

$< 10 0^{o} C$

will not boil at all

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 $10 0^{o} C$ .
