The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.
Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.

Lowering the pressure, the boiling point is lowered; the classic example is water at high altitude.

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is?

The boiling point.


What factor besides the temperature affects the boiling point of water?

Air pressure also affects the boiling point of water. The higher the air pressure, the higher the boiling point.


what are the changes in the boiling point of water in high air pressure?

The boiling point increase at high pressure.


What happends to the boiling point of a substance when pressure above it decreases?

The boiling point will also decrease in this case.


Defined as the point as which liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?

The normal boiling point(also called the atmospheric boiling point or the atmospheric pressure boiling point)is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 atmosphere.The normal boiling point of water is about 100 degrees Celsius at a pressure of 1 ATM (i.e., 101.325 kPa).General Useful Information:The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure, but the environmental pressure may or may not be equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 ATM.If the surrounding environmental pressure is less than atmospheric pressure, then the boiling point is less than the normal boiling point.If the surrounding environmental pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure, then the boiling point is greater than the normal boiling point.At the boiling point, adding enough heat to the liquid will cause the liquid to vaporize (that is boil or form a gas).

How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?

There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.


How does the density of water affect its boiling point?

The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.

How do boiling points affect evaporation?

Boiling point is where the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the ambient pressure. The closer you are to the boiling point, the more driving force there is for the liquid to evaporate until it saturates the surrounding air.
