Boiling Points at Higher Pressures (2024)

Online calculator, figures and tables showing boiling points of water at pressures ranging from 14.7 to 3200 psia (1 to 220 bara). Temperature given as °C, °F, K and °R.

When water is heated it reach a temperature - the boiling point - at which the vapor pressure is large enough that bubbles are formed inside the water. The boiling point of water depends on pressure.

Online Water Boiling Point Calculator

The calculator below can be used to calculate the water boiling point at given absolute pressures.
The output temperature is given as °C, °F, K and °R.

Note! Pressure must be within the ranges 1 - 220 bara, 14.7 - 3200 psia, 760 - 165 000 mm Hg or 30 - 6500 in Hg.

FAQs

Boiling Points at Higher Pressures? ›

The boiling point of a liquid increases with increase in pressure. Since a liquid vaporises when molecules move faster and farther apart but while increasing pressure, you are applying an external force to hold molecules closer to each other.

What does higher pressure do to boiling point? ›

The greater the pressure, the more energy required for liquids to boil, and the higher the boiling point.

Why does water boil at higher temperatures at higher pressures? ›

In conclusion, it is true that water boils at a higher temperature at higher pressure. This can be explained using the concept of vapor pressure and the boiling point of a liquid. As external pressure is increased, water molecules require more energy to escape, causing an increase in the boiling point.

What is the effect of high pressure on boiling point of water? ›

Thus, when pressure is applied on gas, it compresses to liquid and when pressure is increased on liquid, it becomes solid. The effect of pressure on solid is negligible. Thus, if pressure is applied to a substance its state changes from: Gas →Liquid → Solid.

How to determine boiling point at different pressures? ›

If the boiling point values for a specified substance at a specified BP temperature and pressure are given, one can determine the Boiling Point at different vapor pressure values using the Clausis-Clapeyron Equation. The Clausis-Clapeyron Equation is derived from VP2=VP1e−ΔHvRT at two different temperatures.

What is the relationship between pressure and boiling point? ›

Let's talk about how air pressure affects the boiling point. The boiling point of a liquid is attained when the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the air pressure. That is, as air pressure rises, the boiling point of the liquid rises, and as atmospheric pressure falls, the boiling point of the liquid falls.

How does pressure affect boiling point quizlet? ›

How does atmospheric pressure affect boiling point? The more molecules "pushing down" on the liquid, the harder it will be for the liquid's molecules to break free.

What happens to boiling point of water when pressure increases? ›

As the pressure applied to the liquid surface is increased, the energy needed for the liquid molecules to expand to gas phase also increases. Hence, a higher temperature is required to change liquid to gas phase. So, boiling point of liquid rises on increasing pressure.

What is the boiling point of water at high pressure? ›

The IUPAC-recommended standard boiling point of water at a standard pressure of 100 kPa (1 bar) is 99.61 °C (211.3 °F). For comparison, on top of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m (29,029 ft) elevation, the pressure is about 34 kPa (255 Torr) and the boiling point of water is 71 °C (160 °F).

Why is it easier to boil water at lower pressure? ›

The boiling point of a liquid is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure. When the pressure above a liquid is reduced, the vapor pressure needed to induce boiling is also reduced, and the boiling point of the liquid decreases.

What happens to water at higher pressure? ›

At pressures above 2.2 GPa, water freezes into ice VII, a state in which the molecules order themselves into a cubic crystalline form (unlike the hexagonal form of ice typical at Earth's surface). Ice VII forms through nucleation clusters that grow until all the material has solidified.

What happens when the boiling point is high? ›

Normally a higher boiling point means that there is a stronger bond. This is because in order to break that bond it will require a lot of energy and in this case, energy comes in the form of heat.

What happens to melting point when pressure increases? ›

In most cases, increased pressure increases the melting point for a material. This means that under high-pressure conditions, you would need to apply more heat to cause a material to melt. Ice is a rare exception to this rule.

Does higher pressure raise boiling point? ›

The boiling point of liquid increases with increase in pressure.

How do you tell what will have a higher boiling point? ›

In a laboratory, it can be determined by distilling the compound. But between two or more compounds, the highest or lowest boiling point can be determined by looking at their functional groups, measuring their intermolecular forces, and analyzing the shape and symmetry of the particles.

Are pressure and boiling point inversely related? ›

- It is found that vapour pressure and boiling point are inversely proportional to each other. We can say that the boiling point increases as the vapour pressure decreases or vice versa.

Does increasing pressure increase melting point? ›

The melting point of most of the solid substances increases with an increase in pressure. However ice melts at a temperature lower than its usual melting points when pressure is increased.

How does pressure affect temperature? ›

For example, if air pressure increases, the temperature must increase. If air pressure decreases, the temperature decreases. It also explains why air gets colder at higher altitudes, where pressure is lower.

How much does each PSI increase the boiling point? ›

The boiling point of the water increases three degrees for every 1 psi the pressure goes up. If the pressure goes up to 15 psi, then we have added 45 degrees to the water's boiling point.

Why does food cook faster in a pressure cooker? ›

​Food cooks faster in a pressure cooker. Its because the pressure increases inside the cooker, which also increases the boiling point of water. ​So, more heat is required to reach the boiling point and is sufficient to cook food in a reduced time.
