Best Answer

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid.

Since there is no environmental pressure on the liquid in vacuum, its boiling point is directly above its freezing point. In other words, as soon as the liquid unfreezes from the solid state, it turns to steam because there is no outside pressure to hold the molecules in liquid state.

Becase it have not atmosferical presion over. This the same fenomen that go to ebullition at aprox. 75ªC in the Everest summit.

There's no automated direct measurement. However, water is pumped there from Lake Mead so you'll probably be within a few degrees of the Lake Mead temperature.

Why is it acceptable to add water to the titration flask?

Once you have measured out your sample and transferred it to your flask, the absolute amount (moles) of sample is fixed. Adding water to the flask will change the concentration in the flask, titrating also adds volume to the flask as well as reacting with the sample. However, the number of molecules of sample you put into the flask will not change by simply diluting it with water.


Examples of air exerts down ward pressure?

1. Put a little water (about 20 ml) in the flask and heat it to a boil. 2. Let the water boil vigorously for at least one full minute. 3. Take the flask off the hot plate and immediately place the balloon with the mouth over the flask's mouth. 4. Let cool slowly at room temperature (the balloon will be pushed inside out into the flask).


Why did the water rush into the erlenmeyer flask when it was submerged in the cold water?

1. When the flask was placed into the cold water, the colder air molecules in the flask move slower, putting out less pressure. With the decrease in air pressure inside the flask, the now greater pressure outside pushes water into the flask until the pressure inside equals the pressure outside.

What change in the water level occurs when you hold Erlenmeyer flask over a candle in a pan of water?

When do the ice turns into water and when do water turns into ice?

The state of the water depends on the temperature of the water and the surroundings. If the water is below freezing point, the water will begin to freeze, and thaw when the temperature rises above the freezing point.
