Answer:

Considering that water boils at 92ºC, the water will boil and dry before the food has finished cooking.   So, the time needed will be shorter.

Explanation:

  The boiling temperature value of water, other liquids and solutions is influenced by atmospheric pressure.  The higher the altitude, the lower the boiling point. For example, Mount Everest is in the Himalayan Mountain Range, whose altitude is 8848m and its atmospheric pressure is 240 mmHg. At this location, the water boils much faster than at sea level, boiling at approximately 71 °C.

   When we put the water to heat, the energy received by the molecules enables them to pass into the vapor state. Initially we can see at the bottom of the container the formation of water vapor bubbles, and only after receiving more energy in the form of heat do these bubbles rise and are released on the surface, boiling.  The bubbles are at the bottom of the container because atmospheric pressure exerts a force on the surface of the liquid, as if pushing the vapor bubble downward. The pressure within the bubble increases and increases until it equals atmospheric pressure and thus rises to a boiling point. The temperature at the time this occurs is the boiling point.

   Thus, the higher the pressure on the surface, the more difficult it will be to supplant it and the liquid to boil, so the boiling point will be higher. On the other hand, if the pressure is lower, it will be easier to boil and the boiling point will be lower.

The reaction 2HI → H2 + I2 is second order in [HI] and second order overall. The rate constant of the reaction at 700°C is 1.57
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.135 M.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction: <em>2HI → H₂ + I₂,</em>

The reaction is a second order reaction of HI,so the rate law of the reaction is: Rate = k[HI]².

  • To solve this problem, we can use the integral law of second-order reactions:

<em>1/[A] = kt + 1/[A₀],</em>

where, k is the reate constant of the reaction (k = 1.57 x 10⁻⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹),

t is the time of the reaction (t = 8 hours x 60 x 60 = 28800 s),

[A₀] is the initial concentration of HI ([A₀] = ?? M).

[A] is the remaining concentration of HI after hours ([A₀] = 0.75 M).

∵ 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A₀],

∴ 1/[A₀] = 1/[A] - kt

∴ 1/[A₀] = [1/(0.75 M)] - (1.57 x 10⁻⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹)(28800 s) = 1.333 M⁻¹ - 0.4522 M⁻¹ = 0.8808 M⁻¹.

∴ [A₀] = 1/(0.0.8808 M⁻¹) = 1.135 M.

<em>So, the concentration of HI 8 hours earlier = 1.135 M.</em>

How does the Coriolis effect influence the movement of surface waters?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns. The direction that they spin depends on the hemisphere that they are in.

As a person BAC level increase it becomes difficult for them to judge their vehicle distances and speed
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The blood alcohol content is also known as the blood alcohol level or the blood alcohol concentration. It is defined as the measurement of the alcohol intoxication in the body and is used for the legal or the medical purposes.

When the BAC increases in the person's body, the person started to loose clear vision, loss of short term memory, poor muscle coordination,  impaired perception and face difficulty in concentrating. Thus it becomes very difficult for a person to drive a car or ride a bike whose BAC has increased.

The driver cannot properly judge the distances between the vehicle and the speed of the vehicle.

Hence the answer is TRUE.
