An aqueous hydrochloric acid solution has been made at a concentration of 1.50 m in 'La Rinconada' Peru, a gold mining town and the highest elevation year-round human settlement in the world. Its elevation above sea level is 5,100. m. You may safely assume that HCl is not volatile because it is completely dissociated. Calculate the boiling point of the solution and compare it with the boiling point of pure water in La Rinconada. Potentially helpful information: You may assume that the external atmospheric pressure at the city's altitude can be calculated from the barometric formula using the following values for acceleration due to gravity, molar mass of air, gas temperature, and atmospheric pressure at sea level: 9.807 m/s2, 28.97 g/mol, 300. K, 1.000 atm. The heat of vaporization for water is given as: 40.65 kJ/mol.
