To identify a substance, you must find more than its boiling point. Also look for its freezing point and density.

What is it when a gas change to a liquid?

It can be called either boiling or evaporation.


how can the boiling point of the distillate be used to identify a substance?

This method is used whenever there is enough of the compound to perform a distillation. The distillation method of boiling point determination measures the temperature of the vapors above the liquid. Since these vapors are in equilibrium with the boiling liquid, they are the same temperature as the boiling liquid.


When the liquid as a constant boiling point is it pure or not pure?

All pure liquids, such as water, H20, have constant boiling points at certain atmospheric pressures, which is helpful in determining the identity of an unknown liquid. Some liquids have constant boiling points that are not pure, such as nail polish remover, or ethyl acetate. Since it is a mixture of more than one pure liquid, it is not a pure liquid itself, but if always mixed in the same ratios, will have a constant boiling point.

What does fractional distillation have to do with characteristic properties?

The answer is,Fractional distillation is based upon the boiling points of the liquid so that we can identify the liquid when there is a plateau on the graph (when the temperature is the same or close together).

How is the boiling of liquid related to the evaporation process?

Evaporation is partial boiling. When a liquid reaches its boiling point, no molecules of water will stay liquid and evaporation is at 100%.
