At higher altitudes (and thus lower atmospheric pressures), water boils at a lower temperature. This is because the lack of vapor pressure at that altitude doesn't constrain the speed of the molecules with barometric pressure. Therefore, the water begins boiling at a lower temperature. This is often a disadvantage because even if the water is boiling, it won't be hot enough for meals (which is why heat and temperature are distinct). That's why we have pressure cookers, which manage to keep a stable boiling point.

Lower Temperature

Explanation:

The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a given liquid becomes equal to the external pressure or atmospheric pressure. Boiling point is mainly effected by following factors:

1) Inter-Molecular Interactions:

Greater the intermolecular interactions greater will be the boiling point because more energy is required to overcome these intermolecular interactions.

Example:

Water = 100 °C

Diethyl ether = 34.5 °C

Water requires more energy because it contains hydrogen bond interactions which are considered the strongest intermolecular interactions. While, Diethyl ether lacks Hydrogen bondings.

2) External Pressure:

The boiling point also varies with changing the external pressure for the same solvent. Greater the external pressure greater will be the boiling points and vice versa.

Example:

Water:

External Pressure Boiling Point

1 atm 100 °C

0.921 atm 98 °C

0.425 atm 72 °C

Answer from: Quest

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml
