<span>118 C The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is useful in calculating the boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. It is: Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) where Tb = Temperature boiling R = Ideal Gas Constant (8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ) P = Pressure of interest Hvap = Heat of vaporization of the liquid T0, P0 = Temperature and pressure at a known point. The temperatures are absolute temperatures. We know that water boils at 100C at 14.7 psi. Yes, it's ugly to be mixing metric and imperial units like that. But since we're only interested in relative pressure differences, it's safe enough. So P0 = 14.7 P = 14.7 + 12.3 = 27 T0 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 And for water, the heat of vaporization per mole is 40660 J/mol Let's substitute the known values and calculate. Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) Tb = 1/(1/373.15 K - 8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ln(27/14.7)/40660 J/mol) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K ln(1.836734694)/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K 0.607989372/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 5.055103194 1/K /40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 0.000124326 1/K) Tb = 1/(0.002555561 1/K) Tb = 391.3034763 K Tb = 391.3034763 K - 273.15 Tb = 118.1534763 C Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 118 C</span>

What electrons are in “motion”, what do you have?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.

Which is usually greater for a pair of surfaces, the coefficient of static friction or the coefficient of sliding friction? why
lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation :

Static friction is the frictional force between two objects that are at rest. While sliding friction is the frictional force between two objects in contact and are sliding w.r.t each other.

Static friction is usually greater than sliding friction because in static friction the contact forces is more and the interlocking between objects is tight as compared to sliding friction.

How do veins control the flow of blood
Alik [6]
Answer: Blood primarily moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of smooth muscle in the vessel wall and by the action of the skeletal muscle as the body moves. Because most veins must move blood against the pull of gravity, blood is prevented from flowing backward in the veins by one-way valves.

Good luck !
