Question
Chapter 23, Problem 10A
To determine
Difference between evaporation and boiling.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The evaporation & boiling are two different process .
The difference between them is given below:
Boiling | Evaporation |
The heating of liquid to form bubbles. | The process of changing liquid into vapors without bubble formation. |
This is very quick process. | This is a normal process. |
This takes place in whole liquid. | This takes place at the surface of liquid only. |
Conclusion:
Boiling is heating the liquid whereas the evaporation is the process of changing liquid phase into vapors.
