Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere. There are two main types of boiling; nucleate boiling where small bubbles of vapour form at discrete points, and critical heat flux boiling where the boiling surface is heated above a certain critical temperature and a film of vapor forms on the surface. Transition boiling is an intermediate, unstable form of boiling with elements of both types. The boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F, but is lower with the decreased atmospheric pressure found at higher altitudes.
Boiling water is used as a method of making it potable by killing microbes that may be present. The sensitivity of different micro-organisms to heat varies, but if water is held at 70 °C (158 °F) for ten minutes, many organisms are killed, but some are more resistant to heat and require one minute at the boiling point of water. Clostridium spores can survive this treatment, but as the infection caused by this microbe is not water-borne, this is not a problem.
Boiling is also used in cooking. Foods suitable for boiling include vegetables, starchy foods such as rice, noodles and potatoes, eggs, meats, sauces, stocks and soups. As a cooking method it is simple and suitable for large scale cookery. Tough meats or poultry can be given a long, slow cooking and a nutritious stock is produced. Disadvantages include loss of water-soluble vitamins and minerals. Commercially prepared foodstuffs are sometimes packed in polythene sachets and sold as "boil-in-the-bag" products.
Answer:
2 NO (g) → N2 (g) + O2 (g)
2 NOCl (g) → 2 NO (g) + Cl2 (g)
____________________________
2NOCl (g) ⟶ N2 (g) + O2 (g) + Cl2 (g)
ΔH = [90.3 kJ x 2 x -1] + [-38.6 kJ x -1 x 2] = -103.4 kJ
The ΔH for the reaction is -103.4 kJ
Answer:
Aquifer
Explanation:
Instead of snowcapped mountains that store water in advance of warmer temperatures, most of our drinking water comes from underground "mountains" of porous materials called aquifers which are replenished by rain. The Biscayne Aquifer is South Florida's lower east coast's primary source of fresh water.
The highest electronegativity is in the elements in the top left corner of the periodic table, and the lowest in the bottom right corner. Therefore, traveling up or to the left across the periodic table will increase the electronegativity
