So when does AI pressure does it increase the boiling points and decreases the melting point of a liquid

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Yes, when increasing pressure is applied:

  • It increases the boiling point of all liquids. This is because a higher vapor pressure is needed to overcome the increased external pressure, which requires a higher temperature.
  • It decreases the melting point of substances that expand upon freezing, like water. For most other substances that contract upon freezing, increasing pressure increases their melting point.
