Boiling destroys the vast majority of bacteria that is often found on the outer parts of food. In some cases the heating action helps make the food more digestible, which allows the body to take advantage of nutrients it might not be able to break down on its own.

Is it true that sublimation and boiling both happen at the surface of the substance?

No, sublimation occurs when a solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase, while boiling occurs when a liquid turns into a gas. Sublimation can happen at the surface of a solid, while boiling happens within the liquid as bubbles of gas form throughout the substance.


How can water be evaporated without boiling?

Water can be evaporated without boiling through a process called evaporation, where water molecules at the surface gain enough energy to escape into the air as vapor. This can happen at any temperature, not just boiling point.


What would happen to boiling water if an impurity is added?

Adding an impurity to boiling water, such as salt, sugar, or other substances, can change the boiling point of the water. The impurity will raise the boiling point of the water, meaning it will need to reach a higher temperature to boil. This effect is known as boiling point elevation.


What will happen to water at its boiling point at a given pressure?

Liquid water become gaseous water (vapors).
