Question

Please explain ebullition and how is vaporization different from evaporation

Answer 1

Dear student,
Evaporation vs. Vaporization

• Vaporization of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling

• whereas Evaporation is the type of vaporization which happens at temperatures below the boiling point.

• The other type of vaporization, boiling is the rapid vaporization which occurs when the liquid is heated and vapor pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the external pressure surrounding the liquid.

• Evaporation is a integral part of natural phenomena like water cycle, and that happens with the water evaporating from the water reservoirs and then coming back in form of rain.

• Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase before reaching its boiling point
