Boiling Point
Boiling Point
The temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure equals external pressure.
Normal Boiling Point
Normal Boiling Point
The temperature at which a liquid boils at exactly 1 atm pressure; for water, it is 100°C.

Study Notes
Boiling Point and Vapor Pressure
- Liquid vapor pressure increases with temperature rise.
- Boiling occurs when vapor pressure equals external pressure (atmospheric pressure for open containers).
- Vapor bubbles form throughout the liquid.
- Normal boiling point is the boiling temperature at 1 atm pressure.
- Water's normal boiling point is 100°C.
- Boiling point depends on pressure.
- Higher pressure leads to a higher boiling point for water (above 100°C), as greater kinetic energy is required for vaporization to overcome the increased pressure.
- Lower pressure leads to a lower boiling point for water (below 100°C).
