Water has a high boiling point due to its strong hydrogen bonding, which requires significant energy to break. In smaller water bodies, the surface area to volume ratio is higher, leading to increased evaporation rates and faster heat loss. As a result, these smaller bodies can dry up quickly, while larger bodies of water retain heat and maintain their temperature longer, preventing rapid evaporation.

What molecule has the lowest boiling point Na3P NaF MgO C2H2?

C2H2 (acetylene) has the lowest boiling point among the molecules listed. This is because it is a small, nonpolar molecule with weak intermolecular forces, which results in low boiling point.


What is the boiling point of glucose dissolved in water?

The boiling point of a solution can vary depending on the concentration of solute. For a dilute solution of glucose in water, the boiling point elevation is typically small and may not be easily measurable. However, pure glucose itself does not have a defined boiling point as it decomposes upon heating.


The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the exernal pressure is the?

It's called the triple point. For example when an ice-skater is skating, the thin blade creates a lot of pressure over a small area. So where the skate contacts the ice, you have solid (ice), liquid, and small amount of water vapor.


Which petroleum product has the lowest boiling point?

The fraction of crude oil that has the lowest boiling point is the Liquified Petroleum Gas, which is a mixture of small hydrocarbons(methane, ethane, etc).


What temp do small bubbles start to show when boiling water g water?

Small bubbles start to form at around 160°F (70°C) in water as it begins to heat up and reach its boiling point of 212°F (100°C). These bubbles form at the bottom of the pot and rise to the surface as the water nears the boiling point.


Why does sulfur dioxide have low boiling point?

Sulfur dioxide has a low boiling point because it is a small molecule with weak intermolecular forces. The forces holding sulfur dioxide molecules together are relatively weak, requiring less energy to break and therefore resulting in a lower boiling point compared to compounds with stronger intermolecular forces.


Is neon a boiling point or melting point?

Neon is defined as: a colorless odorless gaseous element that give a red glow in a vacuum tube; one of the six inert gasses; occurs in the air in small amount. Neon is neither a melting or boiling point.


How are near azeotropic blends identified?

two or more refridgerants mixed together that will have a small range of boiling and/or condensing points for each system pressure. Small fractionation and temperature glides will occur but are often negligable.


What is freshwater's boiling point?

Pure water boils at 100 degrees Centigrade/Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit or 373.15 Kelvin. I presume that your 'freshwater' is pure. Small amounts of added minerals will tend to raise the boiling point somewhat.


Why does oxygen have a low boiling point?

Oxygen has a low boiling point because it is composed of small, diatomic molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces. These weak forces are easily overcome by heat, causing oxygen to change from a liquid to a gas at a relatively low temperature of -183 degrees Celsius.


What is is boiling point for ununpentium?

The boiling point of ununpentium, element 115, is not yet known due to its unstable and highly radioactive nature. It is a synthetic element that has only been produced in small amounts in laboratory settings.


What is the difference between the boiling and freezing points of water in Fahrenheit?

Bodies of water often have a large amount of minerals and small organic compounds dissolved in them. This causes an effect known as freezing point depression that lowers the temperature required to freeze the water. This is why salt melts ice on roadways. Another, and possibly more pertinent explanation is that large bodies of water have a much higher thermal mass which means that it takes a much longer period of time to remove the heat stored in the water. This is why the pond doesn't freeze over even on a 30 degree night if it's sitting in the sun on a winters day.
