Rock doesn't boil as such, ie turn from a liquid to a gas, but it does melt from a solid into a liquid. Depending on the type of rock and it's composition this can be anywhere between 600 and 1600 degrees centigrade

The vaporization point of stone varies widely depending on the chemical composition of the stone. Some stone like perlite contains a large percentage of water and will begin to vaporize at the boiling point of water 100 C, this is of corse only the water being pushed out of the surrounding volcanic glass. Almost all the Earth's crust is made up of a combinition of Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, Iron and Calicum. So the stone will begin to vaporize at the lowest boiling point of the chemical that makes up the stone. High aluminia content stone like that which makes up the Hawaiian volcanos will begin to vaporize at around 2470 C. High silica content stone vaporizes at about 3270 C. High iron content at aropund 2860 C. High Calicum content at about 1480 C. Hot molten rock or minerals will also off gas large quanites of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water.

It really depends on what comprises the stone. If the stone is made up of several different elements/molecules, as most stones are, then the element/molecule with the lowest melting point will melt first as the temperature rises, theoretically.

Calculate the entropy of vaporization per mole of ethanol Given enthalpy change is 109.8 JK-1 mol-1 and boiling point of ethanol is 78.50C?

OK.With entalpy od vaporization and temperature of vaporization is very easy to calculate entropy of vaporization of etanol.So the equation to calculate this is:Delta_S=-Delta_H/TbWhere:Delta_S= Entropy of vaporizationDelta_H=Entalpy of vaporizationTb= Normal Boiling point temperatureSo the Delta_S become:Delta_S=-(-109000.8)/(78.5+273)Delta_S=310.1 J.mol-1.K-1


What are two types of vaporization?

Two types of vaporization are evaporation and boiling.


The temperature at which water condenses is called what?

The vaporization temperature (liquid to gas) is the same temperature as the condensation temperature (gas to liquid). In advanced engineering this may not be technically true however, since the condensation temperature can be significantly lower than the vaporization temperature in very controlled circumstances (subcooled gases, subcooled liquids).


What does vaporization include?

Vaporization means that the particles eg water molecules must have enough energy to break the liquid particle to particle bonds and form a gas particle. This happens at any temperature but happens for all molecules at the boiling point of the liquid. Some substances do not spontaneously go through a liquid phase but actually form a gas from the solid phase. Solid directly to gas is called sublimation but it is, in effect, a type of vaporization.


What is the engery required to go from liquid to gas called?

The energy needed to go from a liquid to a gas is referred to as heat of vaporization.
