STEAM: The boiling pint of water is affected by changes in elevation. Use the expression of -2A/1000 where a represents the altitude in feet to find the number of degrees Farenhite at which the boiling point of water changes at altitude 5,000 feet A) -10°F B) 20°F C) 10°F D) -20°F

A) -10°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Boiling point of water gets affected when there is a change in the elevation.

Expression to represent the temperature i.e. boiling point w.r.to altitude is given by the equation:

Temperature in =

Given that, the altitude, = 5,000 feet

To find:

The number of degrees Farenhite at which the boiling point of water will change.

Solution:

Here, we are given the expression:

Temperature in =

And value of altitude, = 5,000 feet

Let us put the value of in the equation and let us find the value of temperature in .

Temperature in =

Therefore, the answer is:

A) -10°F
