Question

The Sidney Young equation is used to correct values of this quantity based on changes in pressure. Various values of this quantity form the two axes of a Dühring plot. Mole fractions for the substance with a smaller value of this quantity define the axes of a McCabe–Thiele plot. By reducing pressure, a rotovap lowers the value of this quantity (10[1])for the solvent in the flask. Negative (10[1])azeotropes have a higher value of this quantity than either of their components, and hence cannot be separated by simple distillation. The ebullioscopic constant times molality times van ’t Hoff factor calculates a colligative property known as (10[1])this quantity’s namesake “elevation.” For 10 points, (10[1])name this quantity of a substance at which vapor pressure equals surrounding pressure, causing it to vaporize. ■END■ (0[2])

ANSWER: boiling point [or boiling temperature; accept boiling point elevation]
