Boiling a liquid for a brief period at atmospheric pressure is not sufficient to sterilize the liquid, so autoclaves are used to increase the temperature above 100°C.
Group of answer choices
True
False
Homework Answers
Ans) The answer is "TRUE". Autoclaves are used to sterilize the media,petri plates,test tubes,etc under high pressure (more than atmospheric pressure) due to which the temperature reaches much higher or it boils at higher temperature than normal which becomes effective to kill micro-organisms more efficiently as compared to simply boiling at atmospheric pressure.

Boiling Point vs. Atomspheric Pressure The boiling point of water depends on atmospheric pressure. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower, and hence water boils at a slightly lower temperature.

The boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm pressure) is -196°C. Therefore, nitrogen is commonly used in low-temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphere will remain constant at -196°C until it is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank will result in the evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heat of vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at 1 atm....
