What affect does ambient pressure have on the boiling point temperature of a liquid?

No, the external environment does not affect the boiling point of a liquid inside a pressure cooker. Since the liquid is sealed away from the air, it is not affected by ambient air pressure or humidity.

∙ 13y agoIn order for water to boil the molecules must be able to move about at great and greater degrees as they become heated. If an external pressure greater than the normal atmospheric pressure is exposed to the water the molecules can not move about as freely and more heat must be generated before they will reach the boiling point. If the external pressure is less the molecules will be able to move around more freely earlier and boiling will be achieved earlier. This increased pressure application is what takes place in a pressure cooker. By increasing the pressure the liquid in the cooker can reach a higher temperature before it boils thereby cooking the food quicker with less loss of liquid.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAs the pressure gets lower the liquids boiling point gets lower also.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt reduces the temperature at which water will boil.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe boiling point of a liquid will be lower at lower pressures, higher as pressure increases.

How can changing water pressure affect boiling point?
Increasing the pressure increases the boiling temperature
What two factores affect the boiling point of water?
Pressure & Temperature :) Apex
Does the temperature of the water change the boiling point?
The boiling point of water depends only on pressure, not ambient temperature. The only correlation between climate temperature and boiling point would come about from the fact that cold climates in temperate parts of the Earth are usually at higher elevations than warmer climates and therefore have lower atmospheric pressure.
How does pressure affect the boiling point of gold?
At low pressure the boiling point is lowered and inverse.
How does operating temperature affect distillation?
Increasing pressure hinders the ability of two fluids with different boiling points to separate. Reducing pressure does the opposite and makes the fluids easier to separate based on boiling point.
How can changing water pressure affect boiling point?
Increasing the pressure increases the boiling temperature
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.
What factors affect evaporation rate sientific answer?
Vapor pressure of the liquid, ambient pressure, temperature, and surface area of the liquid.
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.

Why is the boiling point of a pure liquid usually reported along with the pressure at which the boiling point was measured?
Because the pressure could affect the temperature at which the water boils

How does pressure affect boiling point?
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.
How might ambient temperature may affect the resistance values you would measure in a circuit?
Ambient temperature might affect the readings of the resistance value you would measure because the resistance of some materials changes with the temperature.

At low pressure the boiling point is lowered and inverse.
