41. A group of mountain climbers discovered that water boils at a lower temperature at the top
of a mountain. Which statement(s) is/are t r u e ~
At the mountain top, the pressure is low and water will only boil when the vapour
pressure equals the prevailing pressure.
2 At lower temperature, the kinetic energy of molecules is low, thus water boil at lower
temperature.
3 At lower temperature, fewer molecules vaporise and thus boiling point of water
drops
