Question

Question 5
Distinguish between boiling, evaporation and vaporisation.

Answer 1

Boiling is the process of heating a liquid so that it will reach it's boiling point and a rapid vaporization occurs during the process as the liquid is heated even beyond boiling point.

Evaporation is the process in which the liquid at the surface get transformed into the vapours and this occurs due to transfer of heat from molecules present at the surface.

Vaporisation is the process of transformation of the liquid into the gaseous state. It is a general term and can happen in multiple ways like through boiling, evaporation , etc.
