Chlorine has a low boiling temperature because it consists of diatomic molecules held together by relatively weak Van der Waals forces. These weak intermolecular forces require less energy to break apart, leading to a lower boiling point compared to other molecules with stronger bonds.

Why chlorine requires low temperature to get liquefied?

Chlorine has a relatively low boiling point of -34 degrees Celsius, so it requires low temperatures to liquefy because its boiling point is close to room temperature. By cooling chlorine below its boiling point, it transitions from a gas to a liquid state.


What effect does an increase in heating rate have on the boiling point of a temperature?

As a liquid is under more and more pressure it's boiling point gets higher and higher. This is because it take more energy to move the molocules in a closed space. The opposite effect can be seen when water is placed in a vaccuum. If strong enough, the water can boil at room temperature because it's boiling point gets so low. The boiling point will increase. The reverse is also true. The boiling point of water on top of Mt. Everest is around 70 degrees celcius because the pressure is so low.


What is the boiling point of water in space?

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature where the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, as you heat the water up the vapor pressure keeps increasing until it matches the atmospheric pressure, then it is boiling. Space isn't quite a perfect vacuum, so the boiling point wouldn't be 0, but it would be very very low.


Why does sodium chloride have a boiling point?

The boiling point of sodium chloride is 1 413 0C and it is not so low.


Is -42 degrees Celsius a low boiling point?

The boiling point of water is 100 oC so -42 oC is rather low


At what temperature does the weather reach boiling point?

Weathers boiling point?.... if you mean rain, its water so .. 100 degrees?..


How does the boiling point different from lowland and highland?

The boiling point of a substance is lower at higher altitudes due to lower atmospheric pressure, which reduces the pressure exerted on the liquid. In contrast, at low altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point is higher as more pressure is needed to overcome atmospheric pressure.


Does salt evaporate in boiling water?

No, salt does not evaporate in boiling water. When water boils, it turns into steam, leaving behind the salt in the water. Salt does not have a low enough boiling point to evaporate along with the water.


What temperature does it take to desalinate water?

For the desalination by distillation - the boiling point of water. For other methods the temperature is not so important.


Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the what?

Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches its boiling temperature. When alcohol reaches its boiling temperature, each molecule of alcohol has enough energy to separate from each other, so each molecule can move freely. The boiling point of liquid alcohol is 351K or 78C


Why do we not use water inside a thermometer?

1. Its boiling point is low as 100 degree celsius 2. It freezes at higher temperature 0 deg celsius 3. So range is very low 4. It sticks to glass 5. It is not a good conductor so heat cannot be easily transmitted


Does water boil in a vacuum?

YesThis is because boiling is caused by the liquid water turning to gas which is not influenced directly by other materials. However, once in a vacuum the pressure is so low that the water will boil at much lower temperatures.
