How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?
Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state
Why is a pressure cooker used to cook at higher altitudes?
The boiling point of a liquid goes down as the atmospheric pressure decreases. At sea level water boils at 100 degrees C. As you go up higher the air pressure decreases (because there's less air above you). In 'mile high' Denver, Colorado, water boils at about 95 degrees C. Cooking, like all chemical reactions happens more slowly as the temperature decreases. Thus anything you cook by boiling will take longer at high altitudes. In a pressure cooker the pressure is higher than it is outside, so the water boils at a higher temperature and cooking times are reduced. In fact you don't have to live at high altitudes to benefit from using a pressure cooker. Even at sea level they are useful, especially for reducing the time for slow dishes such as stews, which is convenient and saves fuel.
The conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?
its boiling
When water changes from liquid to Gas?
Water vapors begin to condense when T drops below 100 degree Celsius. This is true under the normal conditions (sea level atmospheric pressure). On higher altitudes, there pressure is lower, vaporization/condensation temperature will be lower.
What effcet does altitude have on boiling point of water?
Higher altitude decreases the boiling point of water. Boiling point is defined as the point at which the vapour pressure of the substance above the liquid is equal to the external atmospheric pressure. Since the external atmospheric pressure is lower at higher altitudes, a lower vapour pressure of water is required for water to boil and therefore a lower temperature is required to achieve the desired vapour pressure.
Does reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a higher temperature?
Yes, reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes leads to a lower boiling point for liquids, not a higher one. This is because reduced pressure means there is less pressure pushing down on the liquid, making it easier for it to vaporize and boil at a lower temperature.
What causes liquid water to turn into vapor water?
Increased heat or reduced pressure or both.
Is it true that the boiling point of a liquid remains constant at all altitudes?
No. Atmospheric pressure falls the higher you go. The boiling point of a liquid varies with ambient pressure. If the pressure is lower then the boiling point will be lower.
What causes vapor pressure of a liquid?
The evaporation of the liquid by heating.
What happens to the boiling point of a liquid if the pressure exerted on a surface is reduced?
The boiling point of a liquid decreases when the pressure is reduced. This is because lower pressure results in less resistance for the liquid molecules to escape into the gas phase, causing them to boil at a lower temperature.
How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?
Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state
Why the boiling point is lees than 100 on 760 mmHg pressure?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external pressure. At standard atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg), water boils at 100°C. However, if the external pressure is lower than 760 mmHg, the vapor pressure of the liquid can reach the external pressure at a lower temperature, resulting in a boiling point that is less than 100°C. This phenomenon is commonly observed at high altitudes where atmospheric pressure is reduced.
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.
Why there is a liquid in the plural cavity?
To prevent sticking plural membrane when pressure is reduced
When the vaper pressure of a liquid is equal the atmosphere pressure is?
When the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, the liquid reaches its boiling point. At this temperature, the liquid molecules have enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces and transition into the vapor phase. This phenomenon allows the liquid to rapidly convert to gas, resulting in boiling. The boiling point varies with changes in atmospheric pressure; for instance, it decreases at higher altitudes where atmospheric pressure is lower.
What is the term for the Boiling of a liquid caused by decrease in pressure rather than by an increase in temperature?
This is known as "boiling point elevation." It occurs when the boiling point of a liquid increases due to a decrease in pressure, such as at higher altitudes.
What is the difference in liquid pressure causes what force?
The difference in liquid pressure between two points in a fluid causes a force known as hydrostatic pressure. This pressure force acts perpendicular to any surface in contact with the liquid and increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above. It is expressed by the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the fluid density, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.
