Boiling Point

The temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure equals external pressure.

Normal Boiling Point

The temperature at which a liquid boils at exactly 1 atm pressure; for water, it is 100°C.

Vapor Pressure

The pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with its liquid at a given temperature.

Effect of Pressure on Boiling Point

Higher pressure increases boiling point; lower pressure decreases it.

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).
