Why does the boiling point of water change at high elevation (maybe in Denver, Colorado, the Mile-High City) compared to sea lev

el (maybe in Ocean County, New Jersey)?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

This is due to a reduction in atmospheric pressure – pressure due to the weight of the overlying air column). Remember that the higher the altitude the lower the air density and subsequently the lower the air pressure.

Therefore when heating water at higher altitude the vapor pressure of the water at the surface overpowers the atmospheric pressure – which is slightly lower than at sea level – even before the water temperatures reach 100 degrees centigrade.

These little bunnies (A, B, and C) were born in the same litter to the same parents, but they have different traits for the feat
marta [7]

Answer:

Due to random assortment and incomplete dominance of alleles.

Explanation:

The bunnies end up with ear thicknesses that are different from one another due to random assortment of alleles during gamete formation according to Mendel.

In addition to random assortment, the allele for thick ear also displayed what is known as incomplete dominance over the allele for thin ear to arrive at an average ear thickness.

What is the theoretical yield of moles of hydrogen that can be produced from 0.032g of MG?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1.31x10⁻³ moles of H₂

Explanation:

This is the equation:

Mg(s)  +   2H₂O (g)   →   Mg(OH)₂ (aq)   +    H₂(g)

Ratio is 1:1, so 1 mol of Mg is needed to produce 1 mol of H₂

Mass / Molar mass = Mol

0.032 g / 24.3 g/m = 1.31x10⁻³ moles

1.31x10⁻³ moles of H₂(g)

What is evaporation? Describe what happens at the molecular level during evaporation.
jasenka [17]
 Evaporation happens<span> when atoms or </span>molecules<span> escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the </span>molecules in a liquid have the same energy. <span>Sometimes a </span>liquid<span> can be sitting in one place (maybe a puddle) and its molecules will become a </span>gas<span>. That's the process called </span>evaporation<span>. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids. You probably remember that when matter has a higher temperature, the molecules have a higher </span>energy<span>. When the energy in specific molecules reaches a certain level, they can have a </span>phase change<span>. Evaporation is all about the energy in individual molecules, not about the average energy of a system. The average energy can be low and the evaporation still continues. </span>

A blacksmith heated an iron bar to 1445 °C. The blacksmith then tempered the metal by dropping it into 42,800 mL of
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

6626 g

Explanation:

Given that:

Density of water = 1.00 g/ml, volume of water = 42800 ml.

Since density = mass/ volume

mass of water = volume of water * density of water = 42800 ml * 1 g/ml = 42800 g

Initial temperature of water = 22°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

specific heat capacity for water = 4.184 J/g°C

ΔT water = 45 - 22 = 23°C

For iron:

mass = m,  

specific heat capacity for iron  = 0.444 J/g°C

Initial temperature of iron = 1445°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

ΔT iron = 45 - 1445 = -1400°C

Quantity of heat (Q) to raised the temperature of a body is given as:

Q = mCΔT

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of water is equal to the temperature loss by the iron.

Q water (gain) + Q iron (loss) = 0

Q water = - Q iron

42800 g ×  4.184 J/g°C × 23°C = -m × 0.444 J/g°C × -1400°C

m = 4118729.6/621.6

m = 6626 g
