Question

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Answer 1

Difference between evaporation and boiling
============================================================================================

• Evaporation:-

1) Evaporation is the process of conversion of a liquid into vapours at any temperature below its boiling point.

2) In the process of evaporation, bubbles are not formed.

3) It is slower than the process of boiling (Slow process).

4) It occurs at all/any temperature.

5) In the process of evaporation, temperature may change.

6) Energy supplied by the surroundings.

• Boiling:-

1) Boiling is the process by which a liquid turns into a vapor when it is heated to its boiling point.

2) In the process of boiling, bubbles are formed.

3) It is faster than the process of evaporation (Quick process).

4) It occurs at a definite/fixed temperature (boiling point).

5) In the process of boiling, temperature remains constant.

6) Energy supplied by a source of energy.

Answer 2

Hey there !

Evaporation:-

Evaporation is the process of conversion of a liquid into vapor at a temperature below its boiling point.
It is a surface phenomenon.
It is a very slow process than boiling
It occurs at all temperatures


Boiling:-
Boiling is the process by which a liquid turns into a vapor when it is heated at its boiling point.
It is faster than the process of evaporation.It is a bulk phenomenon
It occurs only at a particular temperature - boiling point.
