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

oee [108]

Answer:

2C(s, graphite)+ 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)  

Explanation:

The thermodynamic standard state of elements and compounds is defined as their most stable state at 25 °C and 1 bar

The elements in ethanol, C₂H₅OH, are C, H, and O.

Their most stable states at standard conditions are C₂H₅OH(ℓ), C(s, graphite), H₂(g), and O₂(g)

The equation for the formation of ethanol from its elements is  then

2C(s, graphite) + 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)

A scientist is combining two grey elements he thinks he will get a compound why is this prediction wrong
DedPeter [7]
In a compund, the proportion must be fixed, unlike mixture. Therefore, if he just combine two elements, there must be excess elements mixed in it.
Second, how did he combined two elements? In order to create a compund, either heat or electricity must be applied.
Therefore, even if he used heat / electricity, he still hasn't got the right proportion, therefore he must have mixed some excess elements into the compund that he thought he made.
