Answer #1

The water will boil if the vapor pressure of the water is equal to the ambient pressure. The pressure at a depth h in the water can be determined from

P = Po+rho*g*h

P= 1.01 x 10^5 + (1000 * 9.8 * 10.3 m ) = 2.02 x 10^5 Pa

in figure vapor pressure 2.02 x 10^5 Pa is equal at 125 oC

T = 125 oC
