Solution

Boiling point:

  • “The temperature at which the pressure of the molecules becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure is called the boiling point.”
  • At boiling point, the phase transition occurs from liquid to vapor state.
  • It is also known as the saturation point.
  • The boiling point of the liquid depends upon temperature, atmospheric pressure as well as the vapor pressure of the liquid.

Thus, the temperature at which the pressure of the molecules becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure is called the boiling point.
