Problem: A flash distillation vessel boils sea water to make potable water.
Approach: So this question basically comes down to finding out the boiling point of water or the saturation temperature at a different pressure than what we wou...
Key step: The pressure in the vessel is held at 10 inches mercury vacuum.
Watch out: So that salinity technically raises the boiling point a tiny bit and that might be a fraction of degree that might even be a whole Fahrenheit degree b...
Result: That is something that you want to always keep in the back of your mind in case you want to go back to this basic formula.
✅ Answer: B
