Solution

Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding temperature.

Boiling of liquid depends on,

  • Temperature and atmospheric pressure and the vapour pressure of the liquid.
  • When the atmospheric pressure is equal to the vapour pressure of liquid the boiling will begin.
