Answer: The boiling point of water is an absolute constant

Explanation:

The boiling point of a compound is NOT an absolute constant. This is because at certain conditions such as a change in altitude, the boiling point of a compound changes.

As temperature increases, evaporation increases and vapour pressure increases. Compounds boils when vapour pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure.

At higher altitudes, atmospheric pressure is decreses.

When atmospheric pressure is decresed, the vapour pressure of the compound is lowered to reach boiling point. Therefore, the temperature needed for vapour pressure to equal atmospheric pressure is lower. The boiling point is lower at higher altitude.

Hence boiling point depends on atmospheric pressure

Now I'm just going to assume you mean Charles law. So when working with gases, there are 4 properties: pressure, volume, temp, and quantity. The simple gas laws deal with 2, while leaving the other 2 constant. If Charles' Law changes temp and volume, what 2 stay constant? Pressure and quantity

Realice las siguientes conversiones: a) 72°F a °C, b) 213.8°C a °F, c)180°C a K, d) 315K a °F, e) 1750°F a K, f) 0K a °F.

Answer:

a) 72 °F= 22.22 °C

b)  213.8 °C=  416.84°F

c) 180 °C= 453.15 °K

d) 315 °K=  107.33 °F

e) 1750 °F= 1227.594 °K

f) 0 °K=  -459.67 °F

Explanation:

Para realizar el intercambio de unidades debes tener en cuenta las siguientes conversiones:

  • Fahrenheit a Celsius: C=\frac{F-32}{1.8}
  • Celsius a Fahrenheit: °F= °C*1.8 + 32
  • Celsius a Kelvin: °K= °C + 273.15
  • Kelvin a Fahrenheit: F= (K -273.15)*1.8 + 32
  • Fahrenheit a Kelvin:K=\frac{F-32}{1.8} + 273.15

Entonces se obtiene:

a) 72 °F= \frac{72-32}{1.8}=22.22 °C

b)  213.8 °C= 213.8*1.8 + 32= 416.84°F

c) 180 °C= 180°C + 273.15= 453.15 °K

d) 315 °K= (315 -273.15)*1.8 + 32= 107.33 °F

e) 1750 °F= \frac{1750-32}{1.8} + 273.15= 1227.594 °K

f) 0 °K= (0 -273.15)*1.8 + 32= -459.67 °F
