Question 7

Explain the terms vaporization and boiling point.

Answer

The change from liquid state to gaseous state on heating at a constant temperature by absorption of heat is called vaporization.

The temperature at which a liquid changes into vapour without further increase in temperature is called the boiling point of the liquid.

Example — Water (liquid) at 100°C changes into steam (gas) at 100°C by absorbing heat.
