What occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure?

  • Correct Answer: boiling
  • evaporation
  • freezing
  • melting

Explanation: Recall that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Since adding a solute lowers the vapor pressure, we would expect a higher temperature to be required before boiling can begin. This phenomenon, known as boiling point elevation , occurs whenever a solute is dissolved into a pure solvent.
