Can the boiling point of a liquid changes with the amount of the liquid?

The boiling point is a physical property of the liquid that is independent on the liquid amount, It may vary with the pressure on the liquid or vary with due to any additives dissolved in the liquid.


How does the last amount of liquid in a straw get into your mouth when the cup is empty and there is no more surface liquid for atmospheric pressure to work on forcing the liquid up the straw?

Air pressure within the straw.


What is the cause of liquid pressure?

The weight of the liquid is, plus possibly the atmospheric pressure on the top surface of the liquid.

The depth of the measuring point and the density of the liquid


What does Henry's law state?

At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.


Would decreasing the amount of liquid to determine density change the outcome?

No, the amount of a liquid is volume. Density is independent of volume.


When atmospheric pressure increases what happpens to the boiling temperature of a liquid?

The boiling temperature of a liquid increases as the gas pressure a the liquid's surface increases.


Which of these processes would not produce liquid rock below the surface?

Decreasing the pressure will not produce liquid rock below the surface.


What factors affect evaporation rate sientific answer?

Vapor pressure of the liquid, ambient pressure, temperature, and surface area of the liquid.


Why does earth have a liquid water supply?

Water itself is one of the most abundant compounds in the universe. Earth is at the right distance from the sun, the right amount of greenhouse effect, and the right amount of pressure for water to be liquid on most parts of its surface.


When we suck on a straw the liquid travels up. why?

Because of the suction the pressure in your mouth is lower than the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid. This extra pressure pushes the liquid up the straw.
