Forráspontját

Forráspontját is a Hungarian term that translates to "boiling point" in English. It refers to the temperature at which a liquid turns into a vapor when it is heated at a given pressure. This transition occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the ambient pressure surrounding it.

The boiling point of a substance is a characteristic physical property and can be used to identify or purify it. For example, pure water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure. However, the boiling point can change depending on the surrounding pressure. At higher altitudes, where atmospheric pressure is lower, water boils at a lower temperature. Conversely, under increased pressure, such as in a pressure cooker, the boiling point is higher.

Impurities also affect the boiling point of a liquid. Dissolving a solute in a solvent typically raises the boiling point of the solvent. This phenomenon is known as boiling point elevation and is a colligative property, meaning it depends on the number of solute particles present, not their identity. Understanding forráspontját is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications, including distillation, chemical synthesis, and cooking.
