Question

The process through which liquid changes into its gaseous state is known as ________.

Answer 1

• The process through which liquid changes into its gaseous state is known as vaporization.
• Vaporization is defined as the transitional phase of a compound or an element and it occurs during the boiling or sublimation process.
• Evaporation is nothing but a type of vaporization which mostly occurs at temperatures below the boiling point.
• For example, drying of clothes in the sun: The water present in the clothes when they are washed is removed by the process of evaporation.
• Boiling is a process of conversion of liquid into a vapor state through constant heating.

Hence, the process through which liquid changes into its gaseous state is known as vaporization.
