Boiling Point of Different Liquids
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure surrounding it. At this temperature, the liquid molecules have enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together in the liquid phase, allowing them to escape into the gaseous phase.
The following table provides a comprehensive list of boiling point values for different liquids under 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
