Chapter 23, Problem 46A

To determine

To Explain:The procedure of boiling of water without heating it.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The water can be boiled without heating. The pressure on the water is inversely proportional to the boiling point temperature of water. The higher the pressure on the water surface, the lower the boiling point.

In a closed insulated vessel, the pressure is more on the surface of water. This causes decrease in the boiling point of water whose value is 100 degree Celsius at the room temperature. This leads to boiling of water without heating.

Conclusion:

If pressure acting on the water is reduced in some way, it decreases the boiling point. Boiling point temperature of every fluid is inversely proportional to the fluid pressure.
