Which of the following statements is correct for boiling point of a liquid?

Options

  1. ATemperature at which a liquid boil at any pressure
  2. BTemperature at which solid is in equilibrium with its liquid
  3. CTemperature at which vapour pressure equals the applied pressure
  4. DTemperature at which applied pressure is greater than vapour pressure of liquid

Correct answer

C. Temperature at which vapour pressure equals the applied pressure

Step-by-step solution

The boiling point of a liquid is that temperature at which its vapour pressure becomes equal to the applied pressure or external pressure.
