The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a temperature.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

            Lower Temperature

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a given liquid becomes equal to the external pressure or atmospheric pressure. Boiling point is mainly effected by following factors:

1) Inter-Molecular Interactions:

                                                     Greater the intermolecular interactions greater will be the boiling point because more energy is required to overcome these intermolecular interactions.

Example:

                                          Water  =  100 °C

                              Diethyl ether  =  34.5 °C

Water requires more energy because it contains hydrogen bond interactions which are considered the strongest intermolecular interactions. While, Diethyl ether lacks Hydrogen bondings.

2) External Pressure:

                                    The boiling point also varies with changing the external pressure for the same solvent. Greater the external pressure greater will be the boiling points and <em>vice versa</em>.

Example:

Water:

                    External Pressure                       Boiling Point

                                1 atm                                         100 °C

                             0.921 atm                                     98 °C

                             0.425 atm                                     72 °C

<span>At higher altitudes (and thus lower atmospheric pressures), water boils at a lower temperature. This is because the lack of vapor pressure at that altitude doesn't constrain the speed of the molecules with barometric pressure. Therefore, the water begins boiling at a lower temperature. This is often a disadvantage because even if the water is boiling, it won't be hot enough for meals (which is why heat and temperature are distinct). That's why we have pressure cookers, which manage to keep a stable boiling point.

Plz help guys ASAP! <br> Thanks in advance

Answer:

3.6 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N₂ + 3H₂ —> 2NH₃

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N₂ reacted with 3 moles of H₂ to produce 2 moles NH₃.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N₂ reacted with 3 moles of H₂.

Therefore, 3.2 moles of N₂ will react with = 3.2 × 3 = 9.6 moles of H₂.

From the calculation made above, we can see that it will take a higher amount (i.e 9.6 moles) of H₂ than what was given (i.e 5.4 moles) to react completely with 3.2 moles of N₂.

Therefore, H₂ is the limiting reactant and N₂ is the excess reactant.

Finally, we the greatest quantity of ammonia, NH₃ produced from the reaction.

In this case, the limiting reactant will be use because all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is H₂ and greatest quantity of ammonia, NH₃ produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted to produce 2 moles NH₃.

Therefore, 5.4 of H₂ will react to produce = (5.4 × 2)/3 = 3.6 moles of NH₃

Thus, the greatest quantity of ammonia, NH₃ produced from the reaction is 3.6 moles

Why do non-metal aroms form covalent bonds e.g. H2O​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. ... Covalent compounds tend to be soft, and have relatively low melting and boiling points.
