Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

What would happen to the block if it had a density of 0.500 kg/L and was placed in the same 100.0 L tank of water?
raketka [301]
I’m not sure if there was important information in the question before this one, but the answer based on the info I have is B.

The density of water is 1kg/L. Since the density of the block is less, it will float.

{Science Question} -Photosynthesis-
MAVERICK [17]
Look I am not even close to a genius in this type of stuff but the leaves help collect energy and sunlight for the plant to live off of during the winter. It basically needs them for processing and helping them with their food. Also food is stored in every pine needles mitochondrion or the powerhouse of their cell structure. In the mitochondrion their is things like chloropasts. These are like the energy or food for the cell. So when the tree cant draw nutrients from its roots or soil anymore all the excess things stored in the pine needles will help the tree survive.
