Explain the autoclave need to be to sterilize the equipment

Reference no: EM13309893

vapH of water is 539.4 cal/g at the normal boiling point. Many bacteria can survive at 100.00 oC, but will die at 120.00oC. Therefore, autoclaves must be pressurized to raise the temperature in order to sterilize medical equipment. At what pressure would the autoclave need to be to sterilize the equipment?
