Explanation
At boiling point saturation vapour pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. Therefore, at 100°C for water. S.V.P. = 760 mm of hg (atm pressure).
Steam at 1000C contains extra 5400 caloric/g energy as compare to water at 1000C. So, it’s more dangerous to burn with steam than water.
With rise of altitude pressure decreases and boiling point decreases.
We know that thermal capacity of a body expressed in calories is equal to water equivalent of the body expressed in grams.
'J' is a conversion
At triple point all the phases co-exist
When pressure increases boiling point also increases.
When the relative humidity is low (approx. 25%), the evaporation from our body is faster. Thus, we feel colder.
Freezing point of water decreases when pressure increases, because water expands on solidification. “Except water” for other liquid freezing point increases with increase in pressure.
Since, the liquid in question is water. hence, it expands on freezing.
water has maximum specific heat
