  • Boiling Point Explained: What Determines a Liquid's Vaporization Temperature?
    The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas is called its boiling point.

    However, it's important to note that:

    * Boiling point is dependent on pressure. The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. This is why water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes.

    * There is also a concept of "vapor pressure" which is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a liquid at a given temperature. When the vapor pressure equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure, the liquid boils.
