Question
If the pressure of a substance is increased during a boiling process, will the temperature also increase or will it remain constant? Why?
Step 1
When the pressure of a substance is increased, the boiling point also increases. This is because at higher pressures, the substance needs to reach a higher temperature in order to overcome the increased pressure and change from a liquid to a gas. Show more…
