Define Vaporisation.

Open in App

Solution

Vaporisation is the process of conversion of a liquid state into a gaseous state at a fixed temperature.
Water at $100 ° C$ will convert into steam, this process is an example of vaporisation.
The fixed temperature at which it happened, in the case of water is $100 ° C$ , known as vaporisation point.
