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.
