Why does waters boiling point decrease with increases in elevation

Chemistry
2 answers:
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.

Consider the chemical reaction: 2 cu(no3)2→ 2 cuo (s) + 4 no2 (g) + o2 (g)when 9.378 g of cu(no3)2 completely decomposed, how
Allushta [10]

2Cu(NO3)2 ---------->    2CuO (s) +4NO2 (g) + O2(g)

9.378g=0.05moles   

no of moles = weight / MW = 9.378/187.56 = 0.05moles

as per the above reaaction 2moles of Cu(NO3)2 can produce 4moles of N2

                                                    0.05moles Cu(NO3)2 can produce (0.05*4)/2 = 0.1moles of N2

and 2moles of Cu(NO3)2 can produce 1moles of O2

       0.05moles Cu(NO3)2 can produce (0.05*1)/2 = 0.025moles of O2

Total moles of gas i.e., N2 and O2 =0.1+0.025 = 0.125moles

From PV = nRT

       V = nRT/ P = 0.125*0.0821*273 = 2.80166Lit option is correct

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure in an automobile tire (P) = 1.88 atm

Temperature (K) = 25°C = 273 + 25 = 298 Kelvin

New temperature (K1) = 37°C = 273 + 37 = 310 Kelvin

Find:

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = ?

Computation:

\frac{P}{K}= \frac{P1}{K1} \\\\\frac{1.88}{298}= \frac{P1}{310}\\\\1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.9557

New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.96 (Approx)

How did Ernest Rutherford’s experiment relate to J.J. Thomson’s work?
horsena [70]
Thomson realized that the accepted model of an atom did not account for negatively or positively charged particles. Therefore, he proposed a model of the atom which he likened to plum pudding. ... Rutherford with the assistance of Ernest Marsden and Hans Geiger performed a series of experiments using alpha particles.
