Why does waters boiling point decrease with increases in elevation

Chemistry

Delvig [45]3 years ago

My friend, let's take an example

Say you have gone camping in the mountains. And that you meet a river on way up. From the river, you are going to take water because you know you will need it. So you took the water and continued the journey up. Now you have come to a high altitude. Now you are thirsty. We can't trust water so we boil it to kill germs and bacteria. You notice that the water has boiled quickly. Now the reason is that higher altitudes have low atmospheric pressure. So the boiling point decreases.

Now you might be wondering why I gave such a lengthy description. My aim is to tell the answer with some imagination so that it will get stuck in your head for a really long time so that you don't have to waste points and time.

Have a good day!

Answer:

Waters' boiling point decreases with increases in elevation because of the atmospheric pressure.

For example, the higher in elevation you are. The lower the atmospheric pressure is. In other words heated water reached boiling point quicker.

1. For a mixture of pure hexane and pure dimethylformamide, the dimethylformamide layer will be found as:______.a. the top layer
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

1.  the bottom layer

2. aqueous HCI

3.  the top layer

4.aqueous NaOH

5. mostly in the diethyl ether layer

Explanation:

Pure dimethylformamide is considerably more polar than hexane hence thee two solutions will form two phases with the pure dimethylformamide as the bottom layer.

If we want to extract aniline from chloroform, HCl must be added in order to give a salt that can be extracted into the aqueous layer.

For a mixture of methylene chloride and diethyl ether, the diethyl ether layer will be found as the top layer since it is considerably less polar than  methylene chloride.

Benzyl alcohol can be extracted from a solution of chloroform by adding NaOH and extracting it into an aqueous layer.

A large partition coefficient for the extraction of naphthalene into diethyl ether from water means that naphthalene will be found mostly in the diethyl ether layer.

The equation for the combustion of CH4 (the main component of natural gas) is
Lera25 [3.4K]

Heat produced =  -13588.956 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction of combustion of Methane

CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ

271 g of CH4

Required

Heat produced

Solution

mol of 271 g CH₄ (MW=16 g/mol0

mol = mass : MW

mol = 271 : 16

mol = 16.9375

So Heat produced :

= mol x ΔH°rxn

= 16.9375 mol x −802.3kJ/mol = -13588.956 kJ
