The boiling point of water depends upon the A. Atmospheric pressure B. Volume C. Density D. Mass

Atmospheric pressure
Volume
Density
Mass

The correct answer is: A. Atmospheric pressure

Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. The boiling point of a liquid depends on the surrounding pressure. At sea level, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. However, if the pressure is lower, such as at high altitudes, water will boil at a lower temperature. Conversely, if the pressure is higher, such as at the bottom of the ocean, water will boil at a higher temperature.

Volume, density, and mass are not factors that affect the boiling point of a liquid.

  • Volume is the amount of space that a substance occupies. The volume of a liquid does not affect its boiling point.
  • Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. The density of a liquid does not affect its boiling point.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. The mass of a liquid does not affect its boiling point.
