Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the boiling point of a liquid?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that a liquid has molecules that are moving around.
Step 2: Know that these molecules can escape into the air as vapor.
Step 3: Realize that vapor pressure is the pressure created by these escaping molecules.
Step 4: Learn that atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above us.
Step 5: The boiling point is reached when the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Step 6: At this point, the liquid starts to turn into vapor quickly, which is what we see as boiling.
