Which of the following statements is true regarding the boiling point of a liquid?
  1. It is constant regardless of pressure.
  2. It increases with increasing atmospheric pressure.
  3. It decreases with increasing atmospheric pressure.
  4. It is the same for all liquids.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true regarding the boiling point of a liquid?
  • Step 1: Understand what boiling point means. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
  • Step 2: Know that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure around it.
  • Step 3: Realize that atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above us. It can change based on altitude and weather.
  • Step 4: Learn that at higher atmospheric pressure, the liquid needs to reach a higher temperature to boil.
  • Step 5: Conclude that as atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point of the liquid also increases.
