Which area has atmospheric conditions that produce the lowest boiling point for water? a. an ocean beach b. an underground mine c. a mountain peak d. the middle of the ocean

C. a mountain peak

Explanation:

Boiling occurs when vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.

The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the gas leaving the pot and those returning back. For boiling to occur, the vapor pressure must exceed the atmospheric pressure around.

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is very high. With altitude, the air becomes thinner and atmospheric pressure becomes lower.

With increasing altitude, the low atmospheric pressure makes the boiling point lower as a result of the decreasing pressure on the vapor.

The boiling point can then easily be reached at higher altitudes.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
