Select the correct answer: A closed bottle containing water at 300°C is carried to the moon in a spaceship. If it is placed on the surface of the moon, what will happen to the water as soon as the lid is opened?

Explanation
  • On the moon, there is no atmospheric pressure, which lowers the boiling point of water.
  • Since the water is at 300°C, it will immediately boil once the lid is opened.
