(iii) At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is low (say 60 mm Hg). At what temperature liquid D boils?
(iv) Pressure cooker is used for cooking food at hill station. Explain in terms of vapour pressure why is it so?
(i) Boiling point of liquid A ≃315 K, B ≃ 345 K
(ii) In a closed vessel, liquid C will not boil because pressure inside keeps on increasing.
