Water at 2 ATM and 118° (120 sat temp) when we take it into open atmosphere what would happen ? In pressure and temperature reference. Will it boil or not?
Rx7man said:Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees?
The boiling point of water at 2 ATM and 118° (120 sat temp) is 120 degrees Celsius or 248 degrees Fahrenheit.
Increasing pressure raises the boiling point of water. This is because pressure compresses the molecules in water, making it more difficult for them to escape into the gas phase and reach the boiling point.
The temperature of water remains constant at 118° (120 sat temp) as long as the pressure remains at 2 ATM. This is because the water is in a state of equilibrium, meaning the rate of vaporization is equal to the rate of condensation.
Yes, water can exist as a liquid at 2 ATM and 118° (120 sat temp). This is because the boiling point of water increases with increasing pressure, allowing it to remain in a liquid state at higher temperatures.
Besides pressure, the composition of the water, altitude, and the presence of impurities can also affect the boiling point of water. Additionally, the heating rate and surface tension can also play a role in the boiling point of water.
