VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

This is Giancoli Answers with Mr. Dychko. When the external air pressure equals the saturated vapor pressure at 80 degrees then you have boiling occurring. And when you look in this table 13-3 on page 379, you see the saturated vapor pressure for water at 80 degrees Celsius is 4.73 times 10 to the 4 pascals. And so since boiling is occurring at this time, that means the external pressure is the same.
