why does the boiling point of a liquid vary significantly with pressure while the melting point of solid does not??????

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Unless stated otherwise, I would assume ideal gas: PV = nRT to mayb give you a general overview of why. There are other factors which influence boiling point, such as the molecule itself. Organic compounds have far less BP in comparison to inorganic species. Size of the molecule itself, the types of intermolecular interactions between them. One of the more important things t othink about is temperature. Since it is the driving force behind boiling point.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the volume(density) of a liquid or solid doesn't usually vary with pressure, liquid and solids can be considered to be incompressible
