What is the principle of Autoclave

Answer Posted / monika yadav

due to increase in pressure of the steam formed in object
surrounding the boiling point of water get increased (
according to gas law PV=NRT ) now at high pressure more
energy is required to escape the water molecules from water
surface .
scientists had find out that 15 psi pressure will raise the
boiling point to 121 c which is sufficient to even kill the
endospores of microbes i.e . making the object sterile
