AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between pressure and the freezing and boiling points of substances, particularly water. It highlights that while decreasing pressure typically lowers boiling points, there are counterexamples where boiling points can increase due to the need for higher vapor pressure. Similarly, the freezing point of water can decrease under higher pressure, as pressure affects the arrangement of water molecules in a solid state. The conversation emphasizes that the behavior of freezing and boiling points is dependent on the volume change properties and bonding mechanisms of different materials. Overall, the relationship between pressure and phase changes is complex and varies with the substance in question.

Homework Statement
I searched google and got very varied responses so I'm really confused.
I saw that boiling point will increase because: more energy is required for the solvent's vapor pressure to reach the external pressure.
however, I think it will decrease because:
when less pressure exerts on the liquid, less heat is needed to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction and it can vaporize into a gas at a lower temperature.
and consequently, will freezing point increase or decrease when pressure decreases?
for this, I have the same thoery as for the boiling point

You seem to assume both freezing point and boiling point go down with decreasing pressure. What kind of counterexamples have you found in the web ?

counterexample for boiling point:
I saw that boiling point will increase because: more energy is required for the solvent's vapor pressure to reach the external pressure.
counterexample for freezing point:
Because of increasing the pressure, which prevents water molecules properly arranging them. If water freezes, the mean forms a crystalline solid phase with a proper arrangement. ... That means water freezes at below 273K.
 
Gas has larger volume than liquid. Pressure prevents tendency of materials to have larger volume. higher the pressure is, higher the boiling point is.

Liquid does not always have larger volume than solid, e.g. for water the higher the pressure is, the lower the freezing point. higher or lower according to pressure increase depends on this volume change property or bonding mechanism of each kind of material.

The equilibrium vapor pressure of a fluid increases with increasing temperature. For a liquid to boil, bubbles of pure vapor must form within the bulk of the liquid (below the surface) to push the liquid out of the way. Subjecting the liquid to a higher pressure requires higher vapor pressure for the bubbles to form and push liquid out of the way. This higher vapor pressure requires a higher temperature.
 
It is difficult to boil an egg at the peak of a very high mountain.
The water can never reach 100 degrees Celsius.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
