Explanation:
This graph shows that an increase in altitude causes a relative decrease in boiling point temperatures. The two variables, it can be said, are inversely proportional.
This is because, with an increase in altitude, there is a proportionate decrease in air pressure. This means the vapor pressure of the fluid becomes strong enough, at a relatively lower temperature, to overcome the air pressure and for the liquid to boil.
This is why water can even boil without inputting heat into it but rather by just reducing the ambient air pressure.
Döbereiner grouped the known elements into <em>triads</em> (sets of three) so that
• The <em>atomic mass of the middle element</em> was approximately the average of the other two
• The <em>chemical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two
• The <em>physical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two
One example of a triad is Li – Na – K.
(a) Atomic mass of Na = 23.0 u
Average atomic mass of Li and K = (6.9 u + 39.1 u)/2 = 46.0 u/2 = 23.0 u
(b) Li reacts slowly with water. Na reacts rapidly. Potassium reacts violently.
(c) Melting point of Na = 371 °C.
Average melting point of Li and K = (454 °C + 330 °C)/2 = 784 °C/2
= 392 °C
