Q18.26: A beaker of water at room temperature is placed in an enclosure, and the air pressure in the enclosure is slowly reduced. When the air pressure is reduced sufficiently, the water begins to boil. The temperature of the water does not rise when it boils; in fact, the temperature drops slightly. Explain these phenomena.
The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain, explains why the island of Niihau, a few kilometers to the southwest of Kauai, is almost a desert and farms there need to be irrigated.
Unwrapped food placed in a freezer experiences dehydration, known as “freezer burn.” Why?
Does a refrigerator full of food consume more power if the room temperature is than if it is? Or is the power consumption the same? Explain your reasoning.
