Why can liquid boil at low pressure?
it becomes easier for the molecules to escape
Does water boil in a vacuum?
YesThis is because boiling is caused by the liquid water turning to gas which is not influenced directly by other materials. However, once in a vacuum the pressure is so low that the water will boil at much lower temperatures.
Does water boil at 106 degrees?
Yes, if the pressure on it is low enough.Yes, if the pressure is low enough.
Does refrigerant enter the compressor as a low temperature low pressure gas?
Yes. The basic components of the refrigeration system are the refrigerant, compressor, condenser and receiver, expansion device and the evaporator. One cycle: Refrigerant travels to Compressor (A) to Condenser (B) to Expansion device (C) to evaporator (D). The refrigerant gas at low pressure and temperature is drawn into the compressor. The gas is compressed to a higher pressure, which causes an increase in the temperature. The refrigerant gas at a high pressure and temperature passes to the condenser (point B), where it is cooled (the refrigerant gives up its latent heat) and then condenses to a liquid. The high pressure, low temperature liquid is collected in the receiver. The high pressure liquid is routed through an expansion valve (point C), where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in pressure. That pressure reduction causes part of the liquid to immediately vaporize or flash. The vapor and remaining liquid are cooled to the saturation temperature (boiling point) of the liquid at the reduced pressure. At this point most of the refrigerant is a liquid. The boiling point of the liquid is low, due to the low pressure. When the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (point D), it absorbs heat from the process and boils. The refrigerant gas is now at low pressure and temperature, and enters the suction side of the compressor, completing the cycle.
The concentration on of gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure in the gas phase above the liquid is known as -------- low?

Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
Why can liquid boil at low pressure?
it becomes easier for the molecules to escape
How does a pulse glass work?
The pulse glass contains a volatile liquid and vapor at low pressure. Warm one bulb in your hand and the increased vapor pressure will force the liquid into the other bulb and appear to boil.
Can you boil chloroform at 0degree?
Yes you can boil. But you need a very low Pressure.
Does water boil in a vacuum?
YesThis is because boiling is caused by the liquid water turning to gas which is not influenced directly by other materials. However, once in a vacuum the pressure is so low that the water will boil at much lower temperatures.
Why does water boil at 71 degrees Celsius on mount Everest?
Boiling of a liquid: The temprature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the external pressure is called boiling point. So the atmospheric or external pressure on mount everest is low. Thats why water boils quickly.
Can water boil at a freezing point?
Absolutely, if the pressure of the system is low enough water will boil even at it's normal freezing point.
How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling point of liquid?
the stronger the intermolecular force, the more energy is required to boil the liquid ...
How often does it flood on mars?
There is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. The atmospheric pressure is so low and the temperatures are so cold that any water on the surface would freeze and boil at the same time.
Does water boil at 106 degrees?
Yes, if the pressure on it is low enough.Yes, if the pressure is low enough.
Can pressure alone change something from a solid to a liquid?
in low pressure environments it is possible for a solid to change to a liquid
What is the function of purge in low pressure centrifugal liquid chillers?
funtion of the low pressure control is to pump down compressor in case of low pressure in the system
