When the temperature of a liquid is raised enough, the liquid boils.
This means that bubbles of vapor, containing millions of molecules, form below the surface.
In order for such bubbles to be produced, the pressure of the vapor inside them must be equal to the pressure of the air upon the surface of the liquid. If the air pressure is greater, the bubble will collapse. The boiling point of a liquid, then, is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure upon the liquid at the surface.
The pressure of the atmosphere at sea level is about one kilogram per square centimeter. We call this pressure one atmosphere. The boiling point of a liquid, therefore, is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals one atmosphere. The boiling point of water is 100 Celsius; of ethyl alcohol 78.5 Celsius; of mercury, 356.9 Celsius.
If the pressure on the surface of the water is reduced, the boiling point will be lower.
Now the higher up we go from sea level, the lower the atmospheric pressure becomes, since there is less air to press upon us.
Hence, while water boils at sea level at a temperature of 100 Celsius, its boiling point on a mountain three kilometers high is only 90 Celsius. Since the temperature of water does not rise as a result of boiling, it would take you longer to cook potatoes or carrots in boiling water on the mountain than it would at sea level.
Which statement of the following is correct according to this passage?
选项
A、The boiling point of a liquid is the original temperature.
B、The higher the pressure on the surface of the liquid, the quicker the boiling point will be reached.
C、The boiling point of a liquid is 100 Celsius.
D、Both B and C.
答案
B
解析
本题为是非判断题。本题可以用排除法来解答。A是不正确的,因为,液体的沸点是指液体被加热一定程度、到达沸腾的温度,不可能仍然是原来的温度。C也不正确,因为,根据常识,不可能所有液体的沸点都是100度;另外,在第二段最后一句提到“The boiling point of water is 100 Celsius;of ethyl alcohol,78.5 Celsius;of mercury, 356.9Celsius.”,这些就是例证。当然,D也就不正确了。
