Question

Difference between vapourisation and evaporation

Answer 1

Vaporization is a transitional phase of an element or compound from a solid phase or liquid phase to a gas phase while evaporation is a type of vaporization wherein the transition from a liquid phase to a gas phase takes place below the boiling temperature at a given pressure, and it occurs on the surface.

Vaporization is the phase transition of a substance from liquid to vapor. Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid at temperatures below the boiling temperature.

Simply
Vaporisation:- 1. A bulk phenomena. 2. Occurs at a particular temperature 3. For eg. Boling water at 100 degree celcius or 373K Evaporation:- 1. Surface phenomena 2. Occurs at any temperature 3. For eg. Drying of wet clothes.


evaporation takes place at all temp whereas vaporisation takes place only at boiling point. e is a slow process and v is a fast process. e takes place at surface only whereas v takes place throughout the mass of liquid.e causes cooling effect and v causes burn
