Why doesn't wind chill reflect actual temperature?

Actual temperature reflects actual temperature. Wind chill is an attempt to quantify the effective lowering of the air temperature caused by the wind affecting the rate of heat loss from an exposed person.

What is the temperature on the elquator?

The temperature at the equator can vary depending on the time of year and specific location, but it generally ranges from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius (77 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). The equatorial region typically experiences warm temperatures year-round due to its proximity to the sun.

Can Boiling Water Freeze In Mid-air?

Yes actually, A cup of boiling hot water thrown into very cold air (for example, at −37°C, or −35°F, as shown in the photograph) will almost instantly freeze in midair and create a shower of tiny ice crystals. There are several reasons behind this phenomenon. First, the near-boiling water is already close to becoming steam when it is thrown into the air, which means that the water molecules are much closer to evaporating into the vapor state than they would be if the water were cold. Second, the act of throwing the water into the air causes it to break up into tiny droplets. The water that was contained in the cup (which originally had a relatively small surface exposed to the air) now experiences a tremendous increase in the total surface area exposed to the air. This situation helps to speed up the evaporation process (evaporation is the process of turning from a liquid to a vapor). Finally, very cold air typically has a low humidity level (that is, a low amount of water vapor present). This is yet another factor aiding the transition from liquid water, to water vapor, to ice crystals. At sufficiently low temperatures, this process seems to occur almost instantaneously.

LCD freezing point?

I saw a tv documentary in which the host went to the coldest town in Siberia- and he stated that his LCD thermometer couldn't tell him what temperature it was because LCD screens freeze at -20 degrees Celsius

What is the temperature of Microwaved and boiled water?

With the microwaved water, it pretty much depends on the microwave Owens temperature.

Though boiling water is 100 degrees Celsius.

(I would like to add): The water's temperature depends how long the microwave runs and the power of the microwave. However, if the water is boiling in the microwave, it is the EXACT same temperature as water boiling on the stove. The microwave is just another method of boiling the water.

What is carbon's freezing point?

the freezing point is always the same as the melting point therefore the answer is 3823 K (3550°C or 6422°F) there is no way in hell they cud b the same cuz the melting point is 3550c

Does ice melting depend on temperature?

Temperature is an important factor, but temperature alone cannot predict that ice will melt. Adding the heat of fusion to ice at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to melt without elevating its temperature, and removing the heat of fusion from water at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to freeze without lowering its temperature.

How many degrees is kelvin and Celsius from freezing and boiling?

The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and 273.15 Kelvin, while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and 373.15 Kelvin. This means that the difference between freezing and boiling points is 100 degrees Celsius or 100 kelvins.

What is the point of freezing water in centergrade?

Freezing water in Celsius helps to preserve it by keeping it at a low temperature, which slows down bacterial growth and helps maintain its quality. It also allows for long-term storage of water without it spoiling or becoming contaminated.

Does temperature affects gases?

Temperature affects gas by changing how much energy each particle has. The hotter gas is the faster each particle moves around, therefore the colder gas is the slower the particles move. If the gas gets cold enough if will turn into a liquid and if it gets even more cold it will turn into a soild.

On the Celsius scale at what temperature does water evaporate?

All tempertures, it just evaporates faster as temperature rises until it boils @ 212 and it evaporates the fastest. It even evaportes when frozen. Under atmospheric pressure, water evaporates at 100 o C (or 132 o F). However, the higher the water pressure, the higher its boiling temperature (or the temperature at which water evaporates).

What is the freezing point of propane in degrees Celsius?

The freezing point of propane is approximately -188.2 degrees Celsius.

What temperature does iron melt at?

Iron melts at 1535 °C

or

2797 °F for those you us living in the U.S..

this is not a thing that melts easily

Does salt lower the freezing point of water?

Yes, salt lowers the freezing point of water by disrupting the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, making it harder for them to form solid ice crystals. This is why salt is commonly used to melt ice on roads and sidewalks during winter.

What temperature does water freeze in Celsius?

Zero degrees Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale was defined with zero as the freezing point of water, and 100 as the boiling point of water.

(That's for pure fresh water at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Adding impurities to the water will change the freezing and boiling temperatures, and different air pressures will change the boiling temperature of water.)

How do you account for these facts N-butyl alcohol has a much higher boiling point than its isomer di-ethyl ether yet both compounds have the same solubility in water?

n-butyl alcohol has a higher boiling point than di-ethyl ether because there is more hydrogen bonding in n-butyl alcohol which results in a higher energy needed to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Does salt or sugar lower the freezing point of water?

Pure water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. When other things are put into solution in water, it normally causes the temperature of freezing to lower. Salt is capable of causing ice to melt because the it lowers the freezing point of any water (including ice) with which it is in contact, and that is why it is used on icy roads.

So the short answer is, when there is salt or sugar in water, you have to remove more heat to freeze it, and so it takes longer.

How does the melting point of elements vary across thegroups?

Melting point trends on the periodic table can be understood in a crude way using the following rule of thumb: The stronger the forces that act between molecules of a substance, the higher the melting point tends to be.

The trends are very complex because many different factors influence the forces between atoms (or molecules) in an element. Notice that for each period beyond the first, the melting point rises to a maximum somewhere around the middle of the period and then falls off to a minimum value at the end of the period.

The melting points of the first period elements are extremely low, because forces between H2 molecules and between helium atoms are exceptionally weak.

In the second period, there is a gradual transition from relatively weak metallic bonding in lithium to strong network covalent bonding in carbon. Nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine also form strong covalent bonds but they can't form networks of bonds the way carbon does. Atoms of these elements pair up to form diatomic molecules. While the attractive forces within atoms in the diatomic gas molecules is strong, the forces between molecules is very weak. That causes the sharp dropoff in melting point after carbon in the second period.

The trend is repeated in a more subdued way in the third period. There is a jump in melting point from aluminum to silicon where bonding changes from primarily metallic to more covalent. P and S are better able to link into chains and rings than their second period counterparts, and have much higher melting points than N2 and O2. In the fourth period, the rise and fall of melting points across the period is even more muted. Note the discontinuity going from gallium (Ga) to germanium (Ge) at the metal/metalloid border.



Room temperature in celsius?

Room temperature depends on whatever temperature the room happens to be, but the generally accepted temperature for "room temperature" is roughly 70ºF, or about 21ºC.

To calculate Celsius from Fahrenheit you subtract 32 from the degrees Fahrenheit, multiply this number by 5, and then divide that number by 9.

What influences temperature?

Major Latitude Influence of the seasons Ocean current Distance from the sea Aspect Minor Orientation of mountain ranges Cloud cover winds =) pressure, latitude (distance from equator) ,altitude (distance from the surface of the earth), cloud cover. wind currents.....

Melting point of water?

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which solid state of a substance co exist in equilibrium with its liquid state. It is also called the freezing point (melting is the same process as freezing, just in the opposite direction, and so the temperature is identical).

See Web LinksSee the Web Links for "Answers.com: Melting point" below for more information.
The melting point is a point where a solid begins to heat and lose mass. It generally changes from a solid state to a liquid state.
