At External Pressure Equal to Atmospheric Pressure?

Pressure: when the external pressure is: less than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is lower than its normal boiling point. equal to one atmosphere, the boiling point of a liquid is called the normal boiling point.

Which pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure?

Standard atmosphere, unit of pressure, equal to the mean atmospheric pressure at sea level. It corresponds to the pressure exerted by a vertical column of mercury (as in a barometer) 760 mm (29.9213 inches) high.

What happens when the pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure?

When the vapor pressure equals the external pressure, bubbles of vapor form within the liquid, and it boils. The temperature at which a substance boils at a pressure of 1 atm is its normal boiling point.
