I get there’s less and less air pressure the closer you get to sea level, and therefore it requires less energy for water to boil, but how does air pressure correlate to energy? I have a tendency to think about things at the molecular level, and can’t seem to work this one out in my head.
In: Chemistry
Think of air pressure as little people pressing down on water molecules trying to leave the surface of water.was air pressure, the easier and quicker the water molecules can escape. The water requires less energy to overcome that pushing back air has.
