A mountaineer, who is initially at sea level, has water in an open top flask and which is kept at a temperature of 90 degrees centigrade. They then climb a high mountain. The water in the flask will boil if they are sufficiently high up a mountain because: The water will never boil None of the listed statements is correct Atmospheric pressure reduces to below the saturated vapour pressure of water at 100 degrees Atmospheric pressure reduces to below the saturated vapour pressure of water at 90 degrees O The water will freeze when above the snow line
