Which of the following are true about boiling?
1) Boiling a liquid requires more energy than does evaporating it.
2) A liquid's boiling point varies with the atmospheric pressure.
3) The greater the ambient pressure, the lower is the boiling point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) Boiling requires breaking all intermolecular forces to convert a liquid into gas throughout the liquid, which requires more energy than evaporation, which occurs only at the surface. 2) The boiling point of a liquid indeed varies with atmospheric pressure; higher pressure increases the boiling point, and lower pressure decreases it. 3) is incorrect because the greater the ambient pressure, the higher is the boiling point, not lower.
