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.

For each solute, identify the better solvent: water or carbon tetrachloride
Rom4ik [11]

The better solvent for Na₂S (Natrium sulfide)and CH₃OH(methanol): water

The better solvent for C₆H₆(benzene) and Br₂(bromine) : CCl₄

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In covalent bonds there are differences in electronegativity which causes polarization of the bonds

If the bond in an electron pair is more attracted to one atom, then the covalent bond is polar

This is due to the electron attraction of one atom which is bigger than the other atoms

But the geometrical shape of molecules can make molecules that have polar bonds can be polar or non-polar

The symmetrical shape of the molecule is usually a non-polar molecule

For example on H₂O

This molecule is polar because of the difference in electronegativity where the O atom has a stronger electron attraction when compared to the H atom, so this molecule have positive and negative poles where the negative pole is on the O atom

Polar molecules dissolved in water undergo ionization so they can conduct electricity and are electrolyte,  while non-polar molecules are non-electrolyte.

<em>Polar molecules will dissolve polar molecules and vice versa non-polar molecules can dissolve non-polar molecules. </em>

So water molecules that can be used to test polar and non-polar molecules by dissolving them in water

The size of polarity is usually indicated by the magnitude of the dipole moment

The greater the dipole moment, the more polar the compound is. In non-polar compounds the dipole moment is zero.

water- H₂O is a polar solvent, due to the large electronegativity between O and H atoms, and the shape of the V molecule (asymmetrical)

CCl₄- Carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar solvent, where C atoms as central and Cl atoms have different electronegativity but because of the symmetrical shape so that the dipole moment is removed and so it is nonpolar

Let see that each of these compounds is polar or non-polar

Na₂S (Natrium sulfide)and CH₃OH(methanol) are ion compounds that can dissolve in polar solvents such as water

C₆H₆(benzene) and Br₂(bromine) are non-polar covalent compounds with symmetrical shapes and do not have free electron pairs that can dissolve in CCl₄

How many moles are in 42.1 grams of NaCl?​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

0.71

Explanation:

The molecular mass of NaCl is, 23+35.5

= 58.5

1 mole means molecular mass (in gram)

In 58.5 gm NaCl there is 1 mole.

So, 42.1 gm NaCl contains 42.1/58.5 =0.71 moles.

Given:
galina1969 [7]

Answer: 4.74 moles

Explanation:

2LiBr+Ba\rightarrow BaBr_2+2Li

Moles of Ba=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}

Moles of Ba=\frac{325g}{137g/mol}=2.37 moles

According to given balanced equation,

1 mole of Barium gives 2 moles of Li

Thus 2.37 moles of Barium gives=\frac{2}{1}\times 2.37=4.74 moles

Thus 4.74 moles of lithium will be produced by 135 g of barium.

What do parent and daughter cells have in<br> common? Check all that apply.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Mitosis is common to all eukaryotes; during this process, a parent cell splits into two genetically identical daughter cells, each of which contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.During meiosis, the cells needed for sexual reproduction divide to produce new cells called gametes.
