Why can liquid boil at low pressure?
it becomes easier for the molecules to escape
When the air pressure is low the freezing point of water decreases or increases?
When the air pressure is low, the freezing point of water decreases. This is because lower air pressure allows water molecules to escape more easily, reducing the need for the temperature to drop in order for freezing to occur.
What happens to the boiling point where the higher air pressure around?
When the air pressure around a liquid increases, its boiling point also increases. This occurs because higher pressure requires more energy for the liquid's molecules to escape into the vapor phase. Conversely, at lower pressures, such as at higher altitudes, liquids boil at lower temperatures. Thus, the boiling point is directly related to the surrounding air pressure.
How can lower air pressure make liquids evaporate faster?
You can explain this in a number of different ways. A high air pressure promotes the return of evaporated molecules to return to the liquid state, so a low air pressure is more amenable to the existence of evaporated molecules in the gaseous state.
What uses air pressure to work?
air
Why does air escape from a tire when the valve is opened?
Because, by pressure differential, there is a gas flow from the high pressure tire to the lower pressure environment.

Why does a tire valve allow air to escape but not enter?
A tire valve is designed to allow air to escape when pressure is applied, but not to let air enter when there is no pressure. This is because the valve has a one-way mechanism that opens when pressure is applied from the inside, but closes to prevent air from entering from the outside.
Is air pressure greatest in a cave?
No, air pressure is not greatest in a cave. Air pressure is highest at sea level due to the weight of the air above pushing down. In caves, air pressure is usually lower than at the surface because caves can have openings that allow air to escape.
What does air leave a tire when the tire valve is opened?
Air leaves a tire when the valve is opened due to the pressure difference. Since the tire has more pressure than the air outside, the tire air will escape until the pressure equalizes.
What happens when an air filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and allowed the air to escape?
When an air-filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and the air is allowed to escape, the balloon will collapse and shrink in size. This is because the air pressure inside the balloon is greater than the atmospheric pressure outside, causing the air to rush out until the pressures equalize.
Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
How does air escape a balloon?
Air escapes a balloon when the pressure inside the balloon is greater than the pressure outside, causing the air to flow out through the opening of the balloon. This process continues until the pressure inside and outside the balloon equalize.
What is the time required for air to escape from a liquid?
This depends on concentration, temperature, pressure, stirring, etc.
What happens to a balloon's air pressure if you pop the balloon with a nail?
When a balloon is popped with a nail, the air pressure inside the balloon rapidly decreases, causing the air to quickly escape. The sudden release of air creates a popping sound.
When you travel in aeroplanes you have ear-pain why?
The air pressure a sea level is normally about 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI). As you go higher up in the atmosphere the pressure decreases. As the pressure in your body was the same as the sea level pressure before you increased in altitude the air must escape from your body to balance. If you have very small, or blocked eustation tubes in your ears, the air cannot escape easily and this difference in pressure causes pain.
When this heat and pressure escapes into the atmosphere what force is created?
When heat and pressure escape into the atmosphere, it can create wind as the air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to try to equalize the pressure. This movement of air can generate forces such as gusts and storms.
