If you boil water at the top of a mountain would you expect it to boil at 100 degree Celsius explain?
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
When the water level is higher inside than outside the flask is the gas pressure in the flask higher than lower than or the same as the atmospheric pressure?
Yes
As you walk down a mountainside atmospheric pressure will what?
It will increase. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude and increases as you move toward sea level. At sea level, atmospheric pressure = 1.0
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
Standard pressure is what?
It is mean atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountaintop or sea level?
sea level
Predict whether water would boil on top of a mountain at a higher or lower temperature than at sea level?
Water would boil higher at the top of a mountain than at sea level. This is because there is less atmospheric pressure at higher elevations.
Why doeswater boil at a low boiling point on top of a mountain and a higher boiling point in a pressure cooker?
This is because the boiling point of any fluid increases as the pressure acting on it is increased. Atmospheric pressure on top of a mountain is lower than normal atmospheric pressure. Conversely, by not allowing steam to escape, the pressure above the water in a pressure cooker is allowed to build up to a much higher level.
When the water level is higher inside than outside the flask is the gas pressure in the flask higher or lower or the same as the atmospheric pressure?
The gas pressure in the flask is lower than the atmospheric pressure when the water level is higher inside than outside the flask.
Why does water boil at a lower temperature on a mountain than sea level?
The boiling of any liquid is tied in to the atmospheric pressure, in an open system. Every liquid has it's own vapor pressure, that is the balance between the vapor and liquid phase. When atmospheric pressure decreases, the vapor pressure increases since now there is greater space for the molecules of the liquid to come into vapor phase. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lesser, that is, the air is thinner. Thus the liquid can attain higher vapor pressure faster and boil at a lower temperature.
If you boil water at the top of a mountain would you expect it to boil at 100 degree Celsius explain?
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
How does the atmospheric pressure at altitudes sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
the atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)
What happens to the atmospheric pressure as one rises from sea level to the therosphere?
Rising from the sea level to the higher levels will result in decrease of temperature and pressure.
How does the atmospheric pressure below sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It is greater.
When the water level is higher inside than outside the flask is the gas pressure in the flask higher than lower than or the same as the atmospheric pressure?
Yes
Would you expect a higher atmospheric pressure at the top of mountain in Alaska's Denali national park or near sea level in Florida's everglades national park?
Since there is more air pressing down from upper levels of the atmosphere, Florida's Everglades park would have the greater atmospheric pressure
Why is atmospheric pressure higher at sea level than mountaintop?
because they bang each other alot.
