Why the boiling point of water is 98 in Kaghan?

The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase and the atmospheric pressure decrease.


Do the boiling point of water directly proportional to pressure?

Yes, if you decrease the pressure, boiling point will also decrease and vica versa.


Does salt helps to decrease the boiling point of water?

No


Can you reverse water boiling on the stove?

Yes, turn the heat off. Boiling water does not change its molecular structure, so, yes, it can be "unboiled."


Why should you use the word average when describing molecular motion?

The term average must be used as the molecular motion is not completely uniform. ie. some of the molecules will vibrate at different frequencies and amplitudes, around a fixed average position. This is shown as water can evaporate even if it is below the boiling point, as some molecules have enough energy to escape. the boiling point is when the average energy is 100 degrees centigrade, so the molecules turn to gas.


Occurs when heat is transferred into an object through motion or movement an example would be boiling water.?

Convection occurs when heat is transferred into an object through motion or movement; an example would be boiling water.

How does air expand in hot water?

due to forced convection and molecular motion


What if iodized salt is boiled?

the temperature of boiling water that is mixed with iodized salt will decrease.


When starch is stirred into water will it increase or decrease the boiling or freezing point?

There is hardly any change


Some molecular compounds such as HCl ionize completely in solution. Some molecular compounds such as HC2H3O2 do not ionize completely when they dissolve in water.?

HCl lowers the boiling point of water more than HC2H3O2 does.


What is the effect of decreased pressure on the boiling and freezing point?

As pressure decreases, the boiling point of water will also decrease. Backpackers camping in the high mountains are familiar with the phenomena when they get water boiling - and find that it is still only lukewarm because the atmospheric pressure at their high altitude is so low.
