Pressure Increase + Boiling: Does Temperature Rise?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the relationship between pressure and temperature during the boiling process of a substance. Participants explore whether an increase in pressure affects the temperature during boiling, considering concepts of phase change and equilibrium.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that increasing pressure during boiling would lead to an increase in temperature, as boiling involves the release of pressure to achieve equilibrium.
  • Another participant asserts that during boiling, only a phase change occurs, implying that there is no change in temperature.
  • A repeated question emphasizes the inquiry about the relationship between pressure and temperature during boiling.
  • A separate post introduces an unrelated question about the stoichiometric air fuel ratio, which does not contribute to the main discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on whether temperature changes during boiling under increased pressure, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the assumptions regarding the specific conditions of boiling or the definitions of terms used, which may affect the interpretations of the claims made.

Here's the question:

If the pressure of a substance is increased during a boiling process, will the temperature also increase or will it remain constant?

It seems like it would increase because boiling is basically the release of pressure to create equilibrium. Is this right?

Thanks a lot.

During boiling, only phase change occurs,So no temp.change

what is stoichiometric air fuel ratio?
