What else can I help you with?
What two significant atmospheric charactaristics change with increasing altitude?
pressure and temperature.
What term defines the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure is called THE BOILING POINT.
How does the atmospheric pressure change?
Atmospheric pressure changes with altitude, decreasing as you go higher in the atmosphere. It also varies with weather conditions, such as high or low pressure systems moving in. Additionally, temperature changes can influence atmospheric pressure, with colder air typically having higher pressure.
What is the saturation temperature of water at standard atmospheric pressure?
The saturation temperature of water at standard atmospheric pressure is 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the relationship of speed of sound to the atmospheric pressure?
There is a relationsship of speed of sound to the temperature but not to the atmospheric pressure.
What state is xenon in at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure?
Xenon is in the gas phase at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
State and explain how the boiling point of water will change if the atmospheric pressure falls?
Water boils when its internal pressure reaches that of the atmospheric pressure. Therefor, if one lowers the atmospheric pressure, the water would boil at a lower temperature (in fact, one can make water boil at room temperature by dramatically lowering the atmospheric pressure).
Is Br a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure?
No Bromine is a liquid at room temperature and normal pressure
Why boiling point is indirectly proportional to atmospheric pressure?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure. When atmospheric pressure decreases, as at higher altitudes, the vapor pressure required for the liquid to boil is achieved at a lower temperature, resulting in a lower boiling point. Conversely, higher atmospheric pressure raises the boiling point because the liquid needs to reach a higher temperature to achieve the same vapor pressure. Therefore, boiling point is inversely related to atmospheric pressure.
When vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure at the surface of a liquid it has reached its what?
When the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure at the surface of a liquid, it has reached its boiling point. This is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on it by the surrounding atmosphere, causing the liquid to change into vapor.
How do the conditions of the atmosphere change?
changes in atmospheric temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction,humidity, clouds, rainfall etc....
How can you change the boiling point of liquid?
You can change the boiling point of a liquid by adjusting the pressure on the liquid. Increasing the pressure raises the boiling point, while decreasing the pressure lowers it. This is why water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower.
