When bringing water to a boil in the mountains, the time needed to reach the boiling point is?

1 answer:

8 0

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure. At this temperature, liquid gets converted into vapour phase.

Now, if one goes to higher heights, i.e. mountains, pressure decreases. Since, pressure decreases the boiling point also decreases. Hence, if heating rate is same, the time needed to reach the boiling point will decrease.

Plutonium−239 (t1/2 = 2.41 × 104 yr) represents a serious nuclear waste hazard. if seven half-lives are required to reach a tole

dimulka [17.4K]

The half-life of Plutonium−239, t1/2 is 2.41 × 10⁴ yrs

time taken to reach tolerable level = seven half-lives
= 7 x t1/2
= 7 x 2.41 × 10⁴ yrs
= 168700 yrs
= 1.687 x 10⁵ yrs

Hence, the period of time that Plutonium-239 must be stored is 1.687 x 10⁵ years.
