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

How does heat affect water and its state of matter

Kryger [21]

Answer:If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. The most energetic particles at the surface escape from the surface of the liquid as a vapour as it gets warmer. Liquids evaporate faster as they heat up and more particles have enough energy to break away.

The blank <br> and the blank <br> of atoms are the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

tester [92]

Answer:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

Be sure to answer all parts. Part 1 out of 2 how many electrophilic centers are present in acetyl chloride (ch3cocl)?

natima [27]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.

In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.
