A substance has a sea level boiling point of 78°C. You take the substance about 3,000 meters up a mountain and heat it in a pot.

What would be the most likely boiling point for this substance at that elevation: 68°C, 78°C, 95°C, or 100°C? Explain.

Answer:

68 °C.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the altitude and the boiling point is inversely proportional due to fact that the higher the altitude the lower the atmospheric pressure and therefore the lower the boiling point (temperature) and the lower the altitude the higher the atmospheric pressure and therefore the higher the boiling point. This is supported by the fact that at lower atmospheric pressures, more liquid molecules are likely to become gas since a weaker force is holding them together in liquid state and the other way around.

Therefore, the most likely boiling point at 3,000 m up a mountain will be below 78 °C, it means 68 °C.

Best regards.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer : The partial pressure of N_2,H_2\text{ and }NH_3 at equilibrium are, 1.133, 2.009, 0.574 bar respectively. The total pressure at equilibrium is, 3.716 bar

Solution :  Given,

Initial pressure of N_2 = 1.42 bar

Initial pressure of H_2 = 2.87 bar

K_p = 0.036

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                              N_2(g)+H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

Initially                   1.42      2.87             0

At equilibrium    (1.42-x)  (2.87-3x)     2x

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{NH_3})^2}{(p_{N_2})(p_{H_2})^3}

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

0.036=\frac{(2x)^2}{(1.42-x)\times (2.87-3x)^3}

By solving the term x, we get

x=0.287\text{ and }3.889

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 3.889 can not more than initial partial pressures. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 3.889 is not consider.

Thus, the partial pressure of NH_3 at equilibrium = 2x = 2 × 0.287 = 0.574 bar

The partial pressure of N_2 at equilibrium = (1.42-x) = (1.42-0.287) = 1.133 bar

The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium = (2.87-3x) = [2.87-3(0.287)] = 2.009 bar

The total pressure at equilibrium = Partial pressure of N_2 + Partial pressure of H_2 + Partial pressure of NH_3

The total pressure at equilibrium = 1.133 + 2.009 + 0.574 = 3.716 bar

The balanced equation for the generation of sugar from sunlight water and co2 is
asambeis [7]

The balanced equation for the generation of sugar from sunlight water and CO₂ is

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

carbon dioxide + water → sugar + oxygen

<span>The process of photosynthesis occurs when the chlorophyll present in the leaves of plants absorb sunlight to make food in the presence of carbon dioxide (enters through the stomata of leaves) and water (absorbed from the roots). As a result of this reaction sugar and oxygen is formed. After that sugar is converted in to starch and oxygen is released into air.</span>
