Question

What is the boiling point of water in Denver, Colorado when the atmospheric pressure is 630 mm Hg.?

Answer 1

everywhere has a boiling point, regardless of what the weather is like.

To answer your question, the higher the altitude is the less pressure that is pushing down on the liquid making the air easier to escape. For each thousand feet above sea level, the boiling point of water drops almost 2° F.

While at sea level the boiling point of water is 212^F, for every 500-foot increase in elevation, the boiling point drops one degree.

Denver is 5280 feet above sea level so 1000ft = -2 degrees .... 5000ft = -10 degrees so Denver’s boiling point is around 202^F

Answer 2

193.865 F

89.925 C

Minimum of 25.9 Inches Hg (converted your 630mm to inches and it was off the scale)

Denver has elevation of 5280ft, used to calculate.

Answer 3

i dont think denver has a boiling p oint. its always so chilly. i need a brisk jacket each time i go

Answer 4

Use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

P0 = 101.325 (the vapor pressure at sea level), kPa

ΔHvap = the heat of vaporization of water, J/mol

T0 = the BP at sea level, K

P1 = 630 mm converted to kPa

T2 = temp that water boils in Denver.
