Water is effectively an incompressible substance, so pressure does not affect its' volume. However, its boiling and freezing points are directly related to the external pressure. Water boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure (or the atmospheric pressure if it is contained in some uncovered pot). Greater external pressure requires higher temperature for water so as to have that value of vapor pressure for it to boil. This is how pressure affects water.

How can you show the effect of pressure on the solubility of carbon dioxide gas in water?

You can show the effect of pressure on the solubility of carbon dioxide gas in water by conducting an experiment where you change the pressure on a closed system containing carbon dioxide and water. By altering the pressure and observing how the solubility of carbon dioxide changes, you can demonstrate the relationship between pressure and solubility.

Does drinking warm water have any effect on lowering blood pressure?

There is limited scientific evidence to suggest that drinking warm water may have a temporary effect on lowering blood pressure. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of warm water on blood pressure regulation.


The freezing point and the boiling point of water can be altered by a variety of techniques Which of the following has little or no effect on the boiling point of water?

Pressure changes have little effect on the boiling point of water. The boiling point of water changes depending on the pressure, but the effect is minimal compared to other factors like adding solutes or using a catalyst.


As you go to higher elevations above sea level the boiling point of water?

as you go higher above sea level, pressure decreases. Due to the decrease in pressure, the temperature needed for water to boil is less than it is than it would be at sea level. Thus, it would take less heat energy for the bonds to break and become a gas than it would in an environment with more pressure.


Does the diameter of a hose effect THE SPEED of water in a siphon?

No it does not, siphonage is due to inbalanced pressure or incorrect atmospheric pressure in a geyser

What happens when you blow in a water bottle?

Blowing into a water bottle creates air pressure inside the bottle, which pushes the water out. This can create a bubbly or foamy effect as the air mixes with the water.


How does a pressure cooker demonstrate the effect of air pressure on waters boiling point?

Vapour rom the boiling water is not allowed to escape and so the pressure above the water increases. This raises the temperature at which the water inside the cooker boils.


What effect do you think that has no air pressure on the ground?

Without atmospheric pressure, water will boil to vapour, so as our blood and body would explode. Pressure is what that keep water in liquid and solid state on earth.
