What is boiling point?

Open in App

Solution

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. Therefore, the boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure. The boiling point becomes lower as the external pressure is reduced.
