What happens to boiling point of a liquid when atmospheric pressure decreases ? |
|
Answer» As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases because air is less dense at higher altitudes. Because the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapour pressure of the liquid needs to be lower to reach boiling point. Therefore, less heat is required to make the vapour pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure. Decreases Ya |
