AI Thread Summary
At a pressure of 500 kPa, water does not boil at 100 °C; instead, it boils at a higher temperature. The boiling point of water increases with pressure, and for 500 kPa, it is approximately 150 °C. Users are encouraged to refer to boiling point tables for precise values. The initial confusion stemmed from a misunderstanding of how pressure affects boiling points. Understanding these principles is essential for accurate calculations in thermodynamics.

1 - If the pressure inside cylinder raised to 500 Kpa when the water would start boiling ? and if some of the water heated from 0 degree to the atmospheric pressure when the water start boiling ?

my answer
A )
when it reach temperature of 150 degree

b )
when it reach temperature of 100 degree

Where did you got this number from? Looks a little bit too high for me.
 
because as I know when 100 C the water will start boiling

sorry not 150 just 100 C
 
No, water definitely boils at more than 100 °C at 500 kPa. Question is - how much. The easiest approach is to look for boiling point tables.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
