Q: What happens to the boiling point of a liquid when the atmospheric pressure decreases?
Solution:
The boiling point of a liquid decreases with a decrease in atmospheric pressure.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what boiling point means. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
Step 2: Know what atmospheric pressure is. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above us pressing down on everything.
Step 3: Realize that boiling happens when the pressure of the liquid's vapor equals the atmospheric pressure.
Step 4: When atmospheric pressure decreases, it means there is less air pressing down on the liquid.
Step 5: With less pressure, the liquid can turn into gas at a lower temperature.
Step 6: Therefore, when atmospheric pressure decreases, the boiling point of the liquid also decreases.
