Question

Water could be made to boil at 105 C instead of 100 C by ____. (1 point) adding a lot of energy to the water increasing the external pressure decreasing the external pressure taking the sample to a higher altitude

Answer 1

The answer to you question is

Increasing the external pressure

Answer 2

Water could be made to boil at 105 degrees Celsius instead of 100 degrees Celsius by taking the sample to a higher altitude. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature. So when you bring water into higher altitude, you are increasing the external pressure and therefore increase the boiling point.
