Hikers climbing Mount Everest discovered it took much longer to cook a boiled egg than it does at sea level, because the boiling water is not as hot. The ∆H(vap) of water is 40.7 kJ/mol. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 torr. R = 8.314 ×10⁻³ kJ/mol・K. Calculate the temperature of boiling water (in °C) at an atmospheric pressure of 595 torr.
