An autoclave is a device used to sterilize


An autoclave is a device used to sterilize laboratoryinstruments. It is essentially a high-pressure steam boiler andoperates on the same principle as a pressure cooker. However,because hot steam under pressure is more effective in killingmicroorganisms than moist air at the same pressure and temperature,the air is removed and replaced by steam. Typically, the gaugepressure inside the autoclave is 1 atm. What is the temperature of the steam? Assume the steam is in equilibrium with boilingwater.
