Question 7 (2 points) The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be 1) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air. 2) lower, because temperatures are lower. 3) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C. 4) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower. 5) higher, because the altitude is greater.

6. How would the freezing and boiling points of distilled water and seawater compare? a. Both the freezing and boiling points of seawater would be lower. b. Both the freezing and boiling points of seawater would be higher. c. The seawater freezing point would be lower and the seawater boiling point higher. d. The seawater freezing point would be higher and the seawater boiling point lower. Explain your answer:

Water is observed to boil at 100 °C at sea level and at 90 °C at the top of a mountain. The reason that it boils at a lower temperature at the top of the mountain is because: (A) The equilibrium water vapour pressure is higher due to the higher atmospheric pressure. (B) The water contains a greater concentration of dissolved gases. (C) The equilibrium water vapour pressure is lower due to the higher atmospheric pressure. (D) The water molecules have a higher average kinetic energy due to the lower atmospheric pressure. (E) The equilibrium water vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure at a lower temperature.

The boiling point of water increases with depth because pressure increases with depth. At what depth will fresh water have a boiling point of $150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, if the surface of the water is at sea level?
