It's not the quality of the heat, but the quantity of the heat.

It means you need to put a large amount of (heat) energy into that substance to convert it from liquid to vapor at the same temperature. (Check out boiling water.)

What is the change of state from gas to liquid?

The change of state from a liquid to a gas is called 'Vaporization'. There are two types of Vaporization: boiling and evaporation.


What is the name of the process of liquid turning into gas?

It is evaporation


Difference between evaporation and vaporization?

Vaporization is the conversion of a solid or liquid into a gaseous state. Evaporation is a type of vaporization, where liquid is converted to a gaseous state where the environment is not saturated.


When vaporization takes place on the surface of a liquid is called?

If vaporization takes place at the surface of a liquid, it is called evaporation. but when evaporation occurs throughout the substance it is called boiling.


Boiling and evaporation are both forms of what?

Both boiling and evaporation are forms of vaporization. Vaporization is the process in which a liquid turns into a gas. Boiling is when vaporization occurs throughout the entire liquid, while evaporation is when vaporization occurs only at the surface of the liquid.


What is a conversion of a liquid to a vapor?

evaporation or vaporization.


What is the change of a liquid to a gas?

Evaporation.Would you believe condensation.Would you believe vaporization!(Evaporation is a type of vaporization that only happens at the surface of a liquid, boiling happens throughout the liquid volume)


What is vaporization at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling?

Vaporization at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling is called evaporation. It is a process in which molecules of a liquid escape into the gas phase without the liquid reaching its boiling point. Evaporation occurs at temperatures below the boiling point of the liquid.


What is is the name of the change of state when a liquid turns into a gas?

The change of state when a liquid turns into a gas is called vaporization. This process can occur through two mechanisms: evaporation, which happens at the surface of the liquid, and boiling, which occurs throughout the entire liquid when it reaches its boiling point. During vaporization, the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together are overcome, allowing them to escape into the gas phase.


The process of a liquid becoming a gas?

vaporization


What is a change from gas to liquid?

The change from the liquid state to the gas state is vaporization (boiling) or evaporation.


Are evaporation and condensation both types of vaporization?

Evaporation is the vaporization from the upper layer of a liquid.Condensation is the transformation of a gas in a liquid.
