Question

item 4 the list shows several locations and their altitudes relative to sea level. drag the locations into the correct order based on their boiling points of water, from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point. the dead sea, -427 m sea level, 0 m denver, colorado, 1,600 m mt kilimanjaro, 5,895 m mt. everest, 8,848 m

Explanation:

The boiling point of water decreases as altitude increases (due to lower atmospheric pressure). We first identify the altitudes:
- The Dead Sea: -427 m (below sea level, lowest altitude)
- Sea level: 0 m
- Denver, Colorado: 1,600 m
- Mt. Kilimanjaro: 5,895 m
- Mt. Everest: 8,848 m (highest altitude)

Since lower altitude means higher boiling point (and vice versa), we order from lowest boiling point (highest altitude) to highest boiling point (lowest altitude)? Wait, no: Wait, the problem says "from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point". Wait, no: Wait, boiling point decreases with increasing altitude. So a location with higher altitude has lower boiling point of water. So to order from lowest boiling point (highest altitude) to highest boiling point (lowest altitude)? Wait, no: Wait, the question is "from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point". So the location with the highest altitude (lowest atmospheric pressure) has the lowest boiling point of water. So we need to order the locations by their altitude in ascending order of boiling point (i.e., descending order of altitude, because higher altitude → lower boiling point). Wait, let's clarify:

Boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes (because atmospheric pressure is lower). So:

- Highest altitude (Mt. Everest: 8,848 m) → lowest boiling point
- Then Mt. Kilimanjaro: 5,895 m
- Then Denver: 1,600 m
- Then Sea level: 0 m
- Then The Dead Sea: -427 m (lowest altitude, highest atmospheric pressure, highest boiling point)

Wait, no: Wait, The Dead Sea is at -427 m (below sea level), so its altitude is lower than sea level (more negative). So altitude order (from lowest to highest altitude): The Dead Sea (-427 m) < Sea level (0 m) < Denver (1600 m) < Mt. Kilimanjaro (5895 m) < Mt. Everest (8848 m). But boiling point is inversely related to altitude: lower altitude (higher pressure) → higher boiling point. So the boiling point order (from lowest to highest) would be the reverse of the altitude order (from highest to lowest altitude). So:

Lowest boiling point: highest altitude (Mt. Everest)
Then Mt. Kilimanjaro
Then Denver
Then Sea level
Then The Dead Sea (lowest altitude, highest boiling point)

So the correct order from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point is:

1. Mt. Everest (8,848 m) - lowest boiling point (highest altitude)
2. Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895 m)
3. Denver, Colorado (1,600 m)
4. Sea level (0 m)
5. The Dead Sea (-427 m) - highest boiling point (lowest altitude)

Wait, that makes sense. Because as altitude increases, boiling point decreases. So the highest altitude has the lowest boiling point, and the lowest altitude (below sea level) has the highest boiling point.

So we need to arrange the locations in the order of their altitude from highest to lowest (since higher altitude → lower boiling point), which corresponds to boiling point from lowest to highest.

So the altitudes in descending order (highest to lowest):

Mt. Everest (8848 m) > Mt. Kilimanjaro (5895 m) > Denver (1600 m) > Sea level (0 m) > The Dead Sea (-427 m)

Therefore, the boiling point order (from lowest to highest) is:

Mt. Everest (lowest boiling point) → Mt. Kilimanjaro → Denver → Sea level → The Dead Sea (highest boiling point)

Wait, but let's confirm:

- At Mt. Everest (8848 m), boiling point of water is around 69°C (lowest)
- At Mt. Kilimanjaro (5895 m), higher than Everest, so boiling point a bit higher (e.g., ~75°C)
- At Denver (1600 m), boiling point ~95°C
- At sea level, boiling point 100°C
- At The Dead Sea (-427 m), atmospheric pressure is higher than sea level, so boiling point higher than 100°C (e.g., ~101°C)

So yes, the order from lowest boiling point to highest is:

Mt. Everest, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Denver, Sea level, The Dead Sea

Answer:

The correct order from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point is:

1. Mt. Everest, 8,848 m
2. Mt. Kilimanjaro, 5,895 m
3. Denver, Colorado, 1,600 m
4. sea level, 0 m
5. the Dead Sea, −427 m

(Note: To drag and drop, arrange them in this sequence: Mt. Everest → Mt. Kilimanjaro → Denver → Sea level → The Dead Sea)
