What Is Boiling Point Elevation?

Ans : The boiling point elevation of water is 100 degrees Celsius at sea level, but only 30 degrees Celsius if you are in a vacuum with an atmospheric pressure of 10 bars. 

Boiling point elevation measures how much heat a liquid can absorb before it boils. It changes with temperature and pressure but generally boils at a lower temperature at high pressure. Boiling point elevation is important for chemical solutions because it determines how much energy can be extracted.
