Question

Air pressure decreases as elevation increases. Identify how the boiling point of water on top of a mountain would be different from its boiling point at sea level. Draw two models to show how the particle motion and the state of water on the mountain top and at sea level would change if you kept adding thermal energy to water that was already at 100°C. Label your models to show what happens to the temperature as the energy is added.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Boiling Point would be below a hundred degrees on a mountain than at sea level.

Explanation:

The Boiling Point is below a hundred degrees, because the air pressure at high altitudes is very low. ( -- < 100)

The Boiling Point for at sea-level would-be a hundred degrees because the air pressure is very high at lower altitudes.

First Model: is shown below, and it shows that the motion of thermal energy particles are moving fast when below 100 degrees ( -- < 100).

Second Model:  is shown below, and it shows that the motion of thermal energy are moving fast when at 100 degrees (--- = 100)

Hope this helps!
