As in, the liquid is just hot, and there's nothing heating it up or anything, right?

Well, I would have to say, the highest area of the container (assuming that there is a container) holding the liquid is the hottest.

You've heard of convection, right? Where hotter liquids and gases rise up due to lighter density, and colder liquids and gases sink down due to heavier density.

Same thing. Different parts of the liquid is assumingly at different temperatures, even if the difference is tiny. Any liquid that the slightly hotter than the rest will rise up to the surface. If it cools, then it will sink down, and any other liquid that is almost just as hot will rise up to take the sinking cold liquid's place.

But of course, eventually, the liquid will cool to temperature of the surroundings...

I hope that answered the question.

Is gas hotter then liquids?

For a given substance, yes, it's gaseous form is hotter than its liquid form. However, you cannot say that a gas, of any substance, is generally hotter than a liquid of some other substance. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point for Nitrogen, for example, is well below the boiling point of water, and even below the freezing point of water. So you cannot say that Nitrogen gas is hotter than liquid water.

A gas at the same temperature as it's liquid state?

The gas and liquid states of a substance at the same temperature represent the substance's equilibrium point known as the boiling point. At this point, the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure, causing the liquid to boil and transform into a gas.


Is liquid and gas a chemical change?

No, it is a temperature change, if you are referring to the same substance.


Is the heat of vaporization the same as the boiling point?

No, the heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to change a substance from a liquid to a gas, while the boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.


Which stays the same when a substance switches from liquid to gas?

During the phase change, the temperature stays the same.


How will the substance change if energy is added to the liquid at 20 degrees celsius?

Adding energy to a liquid at 20 degrees Celsius will increase its temperature, causing it to heat up. As it reaches its boiling point, the liquid will undergo a phase change and turn into a gas.


What is the condensation point for a substance is the same as its?

The condensation point of a substance is the same as its boiling point at a given pressure but in reverse; it is the temperature at which a gas transitions to a liquid. This occurs when the vapor pressure of the gas equals the atmospheric pressure, causing the gas molecules to lose energy and form liquid. Essentially, the condensation point reflects the temperature at which a substance changes from a gaseous to a liquid state.


What is a non-liquid substance?
