Question

Explain Boiling point in chemistry ​

Answer 1

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapour. The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure.

Answer 2

• The temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure matches the pressure surrounding it and the liquid transforms into a vapor is known as the boiling point of a material.

• The boiling point of a liquid is affected by the pressure in the surroundings.
• The boiling point of a liquid in partial vacuum is lower than that of a liquid at atmospheric pressure.
• The boiling point of a liquid at high pressure is greater than at atmospheric pressure.
• Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level, while at 1,905 meters (6,250 feet) above sea level, it boils at 93.4 degrees Celsius (200.1 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Various liquids boil at different temperatures depending on their pressure.
