Video transcript

Hello everyone. So in this video we're trying to see if this statement is true or false. So a statement reads, a liquid boiling more violently is boiling at a higher temperature compared to the same liquid boiling more gently so at boiling point, so add boiling points of BP. A phase change occurs during that time. Our temperature is constant and wiser temperature constant because at that phase change all the energy input is used to convert liquid into gas. Alright, so the liquid boiling more violently violently then so we'll just put violently means that there's more energy. This also means that the of our operation is going to happen faster, but the temperature of the phase change is the same as a liquid that's boiling more gently. So vibration happens more or faster, but the temperature is the same. Alright then. So the statement again reads, a liquid boiling more violently is boiling at a higher temperature compared to the same liquid boiling more gently following this. Then, even though we're having more energy occur, this temperature is going to be the same. So then our final answer is that this statement is false and that is going to be my final answer for this problem. Thank you all so much for watching

Textbook Question

You are high up in the mountains and boil water to make some tea. However, when you drink your tea, it is not as hot as it should be. You try again and again, but the water is just not hot enough to make a hot cup of tea. Which is the best explanation for this result? (a) High in the mountains, it is probably very dry, and so the water is rapidly evaporating from your cup and cooling it. (b) High in the mountains, it is probably very windy, and so the water is rapidly evaporating from your cup and cooling it. (c) High in the mountains, the air pressure is significantly less than 1 atm, so the boiling point of water is much lower than at sea level. (d) High in the mountains, the air pressure is significantly less than 1 atm, so the boiling point of water is much higher than at sea level.
