At the higher altitudes the boiling point of water lowers because

A

atmosheric pressure is low

B

temperature is low

C

atmoshperic pressure is high

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
At high attiudes boiling point is low because atmoshperic pressure is low. Lower the external pressure lower is the boiling point.
