Our episode recaps two connected concepts: Boiling points and the strength of intermolecular forces. We start with the chemistry definition of boiling points (0:53) and take a closer look at what happens at the start of heating (1:13), while heating (1:30) and at the boiling point of a pot of water (1:41). The episode then takes a closer look at the connection between atmospheric pressure and boiling point (2:02). For our second topic, we review the five types of intermolecular forces (4:18) and compare three pairs: hexane and pentanol (4:48), methane and hexane (5:00) as well as water and iodine (5:25).Question: If you cook an egg on the Mount Everest, would it take less time, the same time or more time to be hard boiled as at sea level?A. Less timeB. Same timeC. More timeThank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: Chemistry Edition!(AP is a registered trademark of the College Board and is not affiliated with The APsolute RecAP.
