The change from liquid to gas at any temperature is called ____________ (evaporation/boiling).

Open in App

Solution

Evaporation
Evaporation is a process where liquid changes into a gas below the temperature at which it boils. When water gains heat energy it changes to a gas. An increase in temperature speeds up the rate of evaporation.
For example, Evaporation of water from clothes after washing.
Boiling
The conversion of liquid into a gas at its boiling point is called boiling.
For example, the Boiling point of water is $100 ° C$ at which it changes into a vapor state.
Hence, The change from liquid to gas at any temperature is called evaporation (evaporation/boiling).

The process in which a liquid changes into its gaseous state at any temperature above its boiling point is called evaporation.

Evaporation is the change of liquid to the vapor state at any temperature below the boiling point of the liquid. Though both evaporation and boiling represent change of state, but these are different. Whereas evaporation occurs at all temperature, boiling occurs only at a specific temperature known as boiling point temperature. Moreover, evaporation is a surface phenomenon but boiling occurs throughout the liquid including its surface.
