Octane is a straight chain molecule with a large surface area and stacks easily with other octane molecules. This increases the strength of the London dispersion forces that keep the octane molecules attracted to each other. The London dispersion forces on octane are greater than for smaller straight chain molecules because octane is both heavier and has more electrons that make it more polarizable.
The boiling point of water will be greatest at that point on Earth that is the closest to sea level. Boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of water varies depending on the weather. At low atmospheric temperatures due to weather or due to being up a mountain, the water will boil below its "normal" boiling point of 100 oC
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
as you go higher above sea level, pressure decreases. Due to the decrease in pressure, the temperature needed for water to boil is less than it is than it would be at sea level. Thus, it would take less heat energy for the bonds to break and become a gas than it would in an environment with more pressure.
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.
Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular attractive force. It causes the boiling point to be elevated since the molecules are more attracted to each other and thus require more energy to break from the liquid phase.
Octane is a liquid, not a gas. Its boiling point is considerably higher than that of water.
No, LiCl (Lithium chloride) will not have a higher boiling point than water. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, whereas the boiling point of LiCl is significantly higher at 1382 degrees Celsius.
The boiling point of water can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water is lower. Conversely, at lower altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is higher.
Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.
Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride
Chloroform has a normal boiling point of 61.2 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the boiling point of water. This means that chloroform will have a higher vapor pressure than water at 100 degrees Celsius, where water is at its boiling point but chloroform is not.
Sodium chloride has a higher boiling point.
Air pressure also affects the boiling point of water. The higher the air pressure, the higher the boiling point.
Ocean water has a higher boiling point than tap water because it contains dissolved minerals and salts, such as sodium and chloride. These impurities increase the boiling point of the water by elevating the boiling point of the solution as a whole.
It depends where you are in Nevada. The boiling point will be lower in areas at a higher elevation.
The higher the pressure being exerted on the water, the lower the boiling point becomes. Yes the boiling point is affected in a pressurized system. If you put water in a sealed container and kept raising the pressure it will eventually reach it's boiling point without the need of adding heat.
The boiling point of a saltwater solution is higher than that of normal tap water because the presence of salt raises the boiling point. Salt molecules disrupt the formation of water vapor molecules during boiling, requiring more energy to break the bonds and reach the boiling point.
