The statement "The lower the atmospheric pressure, the easier it is to boil water" is true.
The statement "It is possible to boil water below 100°C" is true. When the atmospheric pressure is reduced, the boiling point of water also decreases. This is why water can be made to boil at temperatures below 100°C in high-altitude regions.
The statement "It is possible for water to reach 100°C before boiling" is false. Water reaches its boiling point at 100°C, and at this point, it starts to vaporize and convert into steam.
The statement "Water will always boil at 100°C regardless of any environmental conditions" is false. The boiling point of water is dependent on the atmospheric pressure. At sea level, where the atmospheric pressure is around 1 atm, water boils at 100°C. However, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding boiling water?
The lower the atmospheric pressure, the more difficult it is to boil water.
The lower the atmospheric pressure, the easier it is to boil water.
It is possible to boil water below 100°C.
It is possible for water to reach 100°C before boiling.
Water will always boil at 100° regardless of any environmental conditions,
