An extreme example of Brownian Motion. Energetic molecules would be repelling each other in agitation and colliding. Those that accumulate enough energy would escape as gas and vapor (steam). The energy of the particles is that they bounce off of each other making more and more energy

When a liquid reaches the boiling point, the particles (molecules) are vibrating and moving very rapidly, and they achieve a vapor pressure equal to or greater than the atmospheric pressure. They can then escape the liquid phase and turn into a gas.

Would a dilute or concentrated sodium fluoride solution have a higher boiling point?

Concentrated. concentrated solutions is completely ionized. The colligative property that is boiling-point states that it will increase as the number of particles increases. Diluting a concentrated substance lessens the number of particles making it obviously lower in bp


Sodium Hydroxide use boiling water why?

Boiling point is described as the point at which vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. Adding sodium hydroxide into boiling water would increase the boiling point of the solution (it would be a solution if you add the NaOH into it). This is due to the addition of ionic particles. The addition of ionic particles blocks the path for water molecules to escape from the solution. Therefore, it would take longer for vapor pressure to equal atmospheric pressure. Similarly, there would be a high boiling point in lower altitudes than in higher altitudes due to the differences in atmospheric pressure. In lower altitudes, it would be harder to reach boiling point due to more atmospheric pressure. Meanwhile, at higher altitudes, it would be easier to reach boiling point due less atmospheric pressure.

Short Answer: Their Chemical properties; such as freezing point, melting point and boiling point.


Is a boiling point higher than a melting point?

well acuttaly a boiling point is higher because the boiling point is at 100 degrees and like so a melting point is a 0 degrees and a boiling point the particles spread out quicker but the melting point the particles are a strong bond so cannot be squahsed and are at a lower rate of temprrature/heat


What process do particles of matter release energy?

When it reaches its boiling point.


Does salt increase boiling point?

Yes. Not by more than a few degrees Centigrade, though. It's a matter of adding particles to the water. The type of particles is largely irrelevant, but the particles must be heated as well, increasing the boiling point, depending on the amount of particles added.

How does boiling point change the particles of a liquid?

It imparts to them more kinetic energy.


Which of these values is most responsible for changing the boiling and freezing points of a solvent?

Boiling point is dependent from pressure. Solutes also have a great impact on the freezing and boiling point.


Does salt make water hotter or colder?

No. Salt makes the freezing point of water lower and the boiling point higher. The particles of salt get in the way of crystal formation when freezing. They also get in the way of particles trying to escape when boiling.


Is it true that particles can only evaporate from a liquid at temperatures above liquids boiling point?

It is not true; evaporation occur at the surface of a liquid and the temperature is under the boiling point.


The temperature at which the particles of a substance have more kinetic energy to transform is?

The melting or the boiling point.


Is the boiling point the same property for table salt and table sugar?

Yes; the boiling point is the same for table salt and table sugar. The boiling point of the water will increase by the same amount based on the number of particles of solute in the solution.


What is the effect of impurities on the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water?

The freezing point of water decreases when the number of dissolved molecules (or better particles) in the solvent increases. This is called freezing point depression and you can easily find the relation between the quantity of particles dissolved and the freezing point on Wikipedia.
