Question

Increasing
pressure
on
water raises the
boiling point. Does it raises it's
freezing point also ? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

If you decrease the pressure, the freezing point of water will increase ever so slightly. From 0° C at 1 atm pressure it will increase up to 0.01° C at 0.006 atm. This is the tripple point of water. At pressures below this, water will never be liquid.

Answer 2

Increasing pressure on water raises the boiling point but it does not raise the freezing point.

Why does the boiling point increases when pressure on water increases?

• When pressure increases, liquid converts into gas then they need energy so boiling point increases
• To convert a liquid to a gas high amount of energy is required
• When the pressure on water decreases the boiling point also get decreases but it does not affect the freezing point of water

What is the boiling point?

• Boiling Point is the temperature at which pressure in the atmosphere becomes equal to the pressure of the liquid, as a result, liquid converts into vapor
• The boiling point of water is 100°C
