The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding atmospheric pressure.For water, the vapor pressure reaches the standard sea level atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg at 100°C. Since the vapor pressure increases with temperature, it follows that for pressure greater than 760 mmHg (e.g., in a pressure cooker), the ...
