Leaving aside the temperature variable, ice melts more rapidly under higher air pressures. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, and the more slowly ice is going to melt.

The liquid detergent will freeze the fastest.?

I think that the liquid detergent will freeze the fastest because it has water in it.


Explain how the attractive forces between the particles in a liquid and the equilibrium vapor pressure of that liquid related?

The weaker the intermolecular forces, the easier the liquid evaporates. Higher vapor pressure the faster it evaporates. Thus, the weaker the attractive forces, the higher the vapor pressure and vice versa.


Which freeze faster salt water or tap water?

Put both in the freezer and use a timer. It must be in a freezer, because if you have ever heard of super-cooled water, a lack of vibrations causes water to remain liquid below the normal freezing point (0 degrees Celsius), that is if it is not disturbed at all.


How do the methods of speeding the rate of solution for dissolving a solid in a liquid compare to the methods of speeding the rate of solution when dissolving a gas in a liquid?

Heat (in most cases) has an opposite effect on the solubility of solids as compared to gases. Almost all solids will dissolve faster in a liquid at higher temperatures, whereas gases will dissolve in a liquid faster at lower temperatures (as long as the temperature is not so low that the liquid in question freezes).


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.

Which liquid will freeze faster?

depending on which liquid you freeze it may depend on how fast it will freeze because it may have less calories or less sugar.

Which liquid freeze the faster?

My BEST guess is water but to check you could do an experiment.


How does the heat effects the melting of the snow?

The higher the heat, the faster the atoms will vibrate and break up into a liquid. but when freezing the atoms move slower and freeze because it is below the freezing point.


Dose coke freeze faster than fresh water?

Water will freeze faster than Coke because Coke has more gas than water and gas takes more time to freeze than plain liquid


How fast does 4oz of water freeze?

Freezing rate depends on the surface area, the heat transfer medium, and its temperature. If it is a thin layer (large surface area) of water it would freeze faster than a thick layer (smaller surface area). A liquid heat transfer medium, like liquid nitrogen, would have a higher heat transfer rate than a gas, like air. Lastly, the colder the heat transfer medium, the faster the heat transfer rate, the faster the water would freeze.


Which type of liquid freezes the fastest?

Freezes the fastest can be of 2 mean. For liquid to reach the freezing point first, the liquid with higher molecular mass or stronger intermolecular force would have higher freezing point and can be considered freezing faster. But it might took quite a while to freeze at the freezing point. For liquid to become solid with the least energy transfer required. The liquid with the lowest intermolecular force would change the state faster at freezing point. But the freezing point might be extremely low.


Why is it difficult to tenderize meat at higher altitude than lower altitude?

If it is being cooked in an open pan of liquid it will boil below 100 degrees depending on altitude. A sealed pressure cooker overcomes this problem.


Does the temperature of the liquid affect how materials dissolve in it?

Yes, the higher the temperature, the faster materials dissolve in the given liquid


Does the speed liquid freezes depends on the varying temperatures or does it freeze at a fixed rate?

I Believe it varies on the temperature. Water freezes at 32 Degrees and if it gets colder it will freeze faster.


Does coke freeze faster than Diet Coke?

No, Diet Coke freezes faster than Coke because the sugar in Coke decreases the freezing point so it requires longer to freeze.
