The temp (e.g. boiling point) is but the average of the kinetic energy of all the molecules, some will be going faster (have more energy) than others.

The ones that exceed that value we know as boiling point have enough energy to escape from the liquid state and become vapor.

On the Celsius scale at what temperature does water evaporate?

All tempertures, it just evaporates faster as temperature rises until it boils @ 212 and it evaporates the fastest. It even evaportes when frozen. Under atmospheric pressure, water evaporates at 100 o C (or 132 o F). However, the higher the water pressure, the higher its boiling temperature (or the temperature at which water evaporates).


Why volatile liquids are often used as propellants in aerosol spry cans of such things as paints and deodorants?

Volatile liquids evaporate quickly, creating the pressure needed to propel the product out of the aerosol can. This property allows for easy dispensing and even coverage of the product. Additionally, volatile liquids can be stored under pressure without the need for additional propellant gases.


Do all substances have their own boiling point and freezing point?

Yes, all substances have unique boiling and freezing points that are determined by their chemical composition and properties. These points represent the temperature at which a substance changes its state from liquid to gas (boiling point) or from liquid to solid (freezing point).


What state is chlorine in at room temperature?

It is in the gaseous state. The boiling point of chlorine is -34.4 degrees Celsius, therefore at room temperature of about 20-23.5 degrees Celsius, it is a gas. "Chlorine" is sometimes used colloquially to refer to compounds containing chlorine (or even, confusingly, compounds which do NOT actually contain chlorine), particularly those used as disinfectants in Swimming Pools. These might be solids, liquids, or solutions, depending on exactly what the compound is. Gas.


How long does it take for water to evaporate in the sun?

The time it takes for water to evaporate in the sun depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and surface area exposed. In general, a small amount of water can evaporate in a few hours under direct sunlight, while larger bodies of water like lakes or oceans may take days or even weeks to completely evaporate.

How does a liquid tirns into a gas?

It has to be heated to its boiling point. Or it could steadily evaporate even if it were below that.


Does water have to boil to evaporate?

The physical state change from liquid to gas usually occurs at boiling. However water can evaporate at room temperature. Evaporation is not boiling, it is a process by which surface molecules of water are escaping into the air.


When the liquid as a constant boiling point is it pure or not pure?

All pure liquids, such as water, H20, have constant boiling points at certain atmospheric pressures, which is helpful in determining the identity of an unknown liquid. Some liquids have constant boiling points that are not pure, such as nail polish remover, or ethyl acetate. Since it is a mixture of more than one pure liquid, it is not a pure liquid itself, but if always mixed in the same ratios, will have a constant boiling point.


What is the evaporation point?

well evaporation can occur at any time but occurs better when the outside air is hotter. vaporization point on the other hand is 100 degrees Celsius for water but is different for other substances. boiling can also make a liquid evaporate and occurs throughout the whole liquid whether as evaporation only occurs on the surface. boiling point of water is also 100 degrees Celsius and is different for other liquids.


How do you test which will evaporate faster soda or water'?

Soda is composed of water and other chemicals. These other chemicals have low evaporation rates and are good thermal conductors. The result is that soda will evaporate slower than water.Some chemicals in soda will not evaporate under room temperature, or even at the boiling point of water.


Who require more temperature for easily evaporation its volatile liquid or non volatile liquid?

Volatile liquids require less temperature for easy evaporation compared to non-volatile liquids. This is because volatile liquids have lower boiling points and higher vapor pressure, making them more likely to evaporate even at lower temperatures.


What is Nonvolatile solutes?

A liquid that is slow to evaporate.

Why is the boiling point of fluorine very cold?

Because the melting point is even lower


Why the boiling point of water remains at 100 C even though heat is going on rising?

The boiling point is a physical property dependent only on pressure.


What is a boiling flasks proper name?

The proper name for a boiling flask is a round-bottom flask. These flasks are typically made of glass and have a spherical bottom to allow for even heating and boiling of liquids.


Can change of state occur below the boiling point of a liquid?

Below boiling point of water, water gets changed from liquid form into vapour form. This is called as vaporization. Thus change of state is possible even below boiling point. An liquid can be changed into solid at its freezing point. This is also a change of state.
