Why is freezing water extremely biologically relevant?

1 answer:

6 0

I feel like this question has more to do with water and its changes of states more than just freezing water. Water has a high specific heat, which means that it takes more energy to either boil or freeze than many other types of substances. This is unusual about water because it has a low molecular weight, which is normally associated with a smaller need for energy to change states. Is water didn't require this extra energy, then it water would freeze much more easily. This would be detrimental for many biological ecosystems. Think about how the world would be if water froze at say 60 degrees F, rather than 32. This would significantly effect the world as we know it.

Answer: Temperature on monday morning is 319,5K

Explanation: This is an example of Gay Lussac law on gases which states that at constant volume, pressure and temperature are directly related, so if one raises the other one does as well.

The equation that follow the law is :

P1 / T1 = P2/T2 where 1 is the initial pressure and temperature and 2 is the final state.

In this equation, values have to be expressed in atm for pressure and Kelvin for temperature.

$P1 = 115 kPa .\frac{1 atm}{101,3kPa} = 1,135 atm$

$P2 = 108,75 kPa . \frac{1atm}{101,3kPa} = 1,073 atm$

The missing value is T2 (monday temperature), so we have to clear it from the equation

T2 =P2.T1/P1

Replacing values:

T2 = 1,073 atm . 338K /1,135 atm

T2 = 319,5 K
