Question

Boiling point of water at a place is found to be 110oC . At this place:
  1. external pressure is less than 1 atm
  2. external pressure is greater than 1 atm
  3. external pressure is equal to 1 atm
  4. cooking takes longer time

A
external pressure is less than 1 atm
B
external pressure is greater than 1 atm
C
external pressure is equal to 1 atm
D
cooking takes longer time
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Boiling point varies directly to the external pressure. Normal boiling point is 100°C. This is at 1 atm. But here it is 110°C so pressure is above 1 atm.

Following passage explains the effect of temperature on the vapour pressure of the liquid.

Effect of temperature on vapour pressure
The quantity of heat required to evaporate a given liquid at constant temperature is defined as the heat of vaporisation. Variation of vapour pressure with temperature is given by,

Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

logeP=ΔHvapRT+logeA

A liquid is said to be at its boiling temperature if its vapour pressure is equal to external pressure. Therefore, the boiling point of water in particular and of liquids in general decreases as an altitude of a place increases where the external pressure is less than 1atmosphere (normal b.p. of water is 373.15K at 1atmosphere)

On top of mount everest, for example, where the atmospheric pressure is only about 260mmHg, water boils at approximately 71C. Conversely, if the external pressure on a liquid is greater than 1atm, the vapour pressure necessary for boiling than normal boiling is reached later, and the liquid boils at a temperature greater than the normal boiling point.

Clausius-Clapeyron equation can be written in the following form:

The temperature at which water boil depend on the pressure the water is under . At sea level the pressure is 100kPa,water boil at hundred degree Celsius the pressure in the pressure cooker is greater than 100kPa and boiling point of water is greater than hundred degree Celsius .

on the mountain top at the altitude of 7700 m the climber found that his fuel store couldn't raise the temperature of boiling water above 75 degrees celsius best explanation explanation of this

first the stop didn't have the sufficient oxygen 21 the few completely .

second the also called it absorb the heat from the water .

third the pressure was less than it was at sea level .

Fourth the air fresher was better than it was at sea level
