For increased atmospheric pressure,the boiling temperature of a liquid
A)goes down.
B)goes up.
C)remains at 100 degrees C.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling temperature of a liquid also increases. This is because a higher atmospheric pressure increases the pressure above the liquid, making it more difficult for the molecules of the liquid to escape into the vapor phase. Therefore, more energy is required to boil the liquid, resulting in a higher boiling temperature.
