How is evaporation different from boiling water?

You boil a substance to evaporate the liquid.


The conversion of a liquid to a gas below the boiling point?

A liquid can convert to a gas at a temperature below the boiling point because the boiling point is recognized to be a property at standard pressure. At a lower pressure a liquid may boil off at a temperature much lower than the standard boiling point.


Is this true particles can evaporate from a liquid before the liquid comes to a boil?

Yes. Evaporation can happen at temperatures below the boiling point. It is possible for a liquid to completely evaporate without ever having come to a boil.


What is it called when something changes from a liquid to a gas?

When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, it is called vaporization or evaporation. This process occurs when the substance absorbs enough energy to overcome the forces holding its molecules together in the liquid phase.


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.


The change from a liquid to a gaseous state?

The change from a liquid to a gaseous state is called evaporation. During evaporation, molecules gain enough energy to escape from the liquid phase and become gas molecules. This process occurs at the surface of the liquid.


What is a change of state from liquid to gas which is not evaporation and has 4 letters?

If a liquid was to boil to change state, it would be changing from a liquid to a gas, and would be said to be boiling.


What are two elements that boil at a temperature below zero?

Two elements that boil at a temperature below zero degrees Celsius are helium and hydrogen. Helium boils at -268.9 degrees Celsius, while hydrogen boils at -252.9 degrees Celsius.


When will the liquid boil?

When the temperature reaches the correct temperature (boiling point).


What liquid boils in your hand?

No liquid will boil in your hand because the temperature of your hand is not high enough to cause a liquid to boil. Boiling occurs when a liquid reaches its boiling point temperature, which is much higher than normal body temperature.


How can you turn liquid into gas?

Boil the liquid (water boils at 100oC) or leave it to evaporate (water evaporates between 0oC and 100oC). Evaporation takes place constantly within liquids at temperature between melting and boiling point.


What will happen if you increase both the pressure and temperature of a liquid?

It will boil
