The boiling point of a liquid is tested at 10 different pressures, from 0.5 to 14 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)

Question

The boiling point of a liquid is tested at 10 different pressures, from 0.5 to 14 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)

• 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 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
• A boiling point at 15 atmospheres could not be predicted with any certainty at all.

Answer 1

The boiling point of a liquid is tested at 10 different pressures, from 0.5 to 14 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)

Based on the information provided, the reasonable conclusion is that a boiling point at 1.5 atmospheres could be predicted fairly well.
