Evaporation
1) A liquid becomes a gas by evaporation after boiling occurs.

The point at which the liquid is heated sufficiently to vapourise is known as the "boiling point" of that particular liquid.

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature the steam and the water are in equilibrium.

2) The second process occurs at much lower temperatures, but also relatively low relative humidity.

Hanging wet laundry on a line exposes the moisture to the drier outside air. Even when it rains, laundry hung outside, but, out of the rain will eventually dry, at much lower temperatures.

3) Interestingly, clothes will dry outdoors even below freezing. Wet laundry hung outdoors will, of course, freeze...but...the ice frozen into the wet laundry will sublimate, that is, go directly from ice to water vapour almost as quickly as it does on a humid day.

BTW, this is the same process that 'shrinks' ice cubes in their trays in the freezer

What is the process by which gas or vapour is converted to liquid?

The process by which gas or vapor is converted to liquid is called condensation. This occurs when the gas or vapor loses heat energy, causing its molecules to slow down and come closer together, eventually forming a liquid.


What has the change is a state of matter from a liquid to a gas?

sublimation is the process in which a solid directly gets converted into a gas. example:camphor, naphthalene


What is the process from a liquid to gas and gas to liquid?

The process from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation, where the liquid absorbs heat energy and changes into a gas. On the other hand, the process from a gas to a liquid is called condensation, where the gas loses heat energy and changes into a liquid. Both processes involve a change in temperature or pressure.

How are evaporation and sublimation different?

when solid gets converted directly in to gas it is called sublimation e.g. camphor. when solid gets converted in to liquid first, & after that in to gaseous state it is called vaporization e.g. water.


Is condense when a liquid is changed to gas?

no. that is called boiling and/or evaporating. condensing is when a gas turns into a liquid:)xxx
