Hi,
I need help understanding their relationship.
From my understanding, the higher the vapor pressure, the lower the boiling point (inversely related)
However, at high altitudes, the vapor pressure is decreased because the atmospheric pressure is decreased, yet the boiling point decreases too? Here it seems that the vapor pressure and boiling point are proportionally related! I don't understand this.
