The boiling point of a liquid is tested at 10 different pressures, from 0.5 to 1.4 atmospheres. The results of the tests show that there is a nearly constant increase in boiling point for each increase in pressure. Which conclusion is reasonable based on this information?(1 point)
Responses
A boiling point at 15 atmospheres could not be predicted with any certainty at all.
A boiling point at 15 atmospheres could not be predicted with any certainty at all.
A boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
A boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
A boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could not be predicted with any certainty at all.
A boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could not be predicted with any certainty at all.
A boiling point at 15 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
A boiling point at 15 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
Based on the information provided, the reasonable conclusion would be:
A boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
Based on the given information that there is a nearly constant increase in boiling point for each increase in pressure, it is reasonable to conclude that a boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well. However, it is uncertain whether a boiling point at 15 atmospheres could be predicted with any certainty at all since the range of pressures tested only goes up to 1.4 atmospheres. To make predictions with more certainty, additional data points within the desired range of pressures would be needed. Therefore, the correct conclusion is:
A boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
