Which of the following statements are NOT correct?
A. boiling occurs when the saturated vapour pressure of the liquid involved equals the external pressure B. both the boiling point and the saturated vapour pressure of a given liquid depends on the external pressure C. the saturated vapour presssure rises with increase in temperature D. the saturated vapour pressure is independent of the volume available for the vapour E. it is possible to boil water at a lower temperature than 100oC at high altitude
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The saturated vapour pressure is dependent on the temperature of the liquid and not on the volume.
