Question:

Estimate the boiling point of water in Leadville, Colorado, elevation 3170 m. To do this, use the barometric formula relating pressure and altitude: P = P0 x 10-Mgh/2.303 RT (where P = pressure in atm; P0 = 1 atm; acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m s-2; molar mass of air, M = 0.02896 kg mol-1 ; R =8.3145 J mol-1 K-1; and T is the Kelvin temperature). Assume the air temperature is 10.0 °C and that ΔvapH= 41 kJ mol-1 H2O.
