The boiling point of a liquid varies according to the applied pressure; the normal boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure is equal to the standard sea-level atmospheric pressure (760 mm [29.92 inches] of mercury). At sea level, water boils at 100° C (212° F).
What is the boiling point in chemistry?
Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a chemical equals atmospheric pressure. To simply put, it measures the temperature at which a chemical boils. Similar to melting point, a higher boiling point indicates greater inter-molecular forces and therefore less vapour pressure.
