Question

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation is slower, occurs only from the surface of the liquid, does not produce bubbles, and leads to cooling. Boiling is faster, can occur throughout the liquid, produces lots of bubbles, and does not result in cooling.

Answer 2

Answer/Explanation:

Let's define both terms

Boiling: is defined as a process whereby the liquid state is turned into gaseous state at a specific boiling point. And it is a fast process.

Evaporation: is defined as a process whereby a natural process in which the increase in temperature or pressure causes liquid to change into gas.

Difference between boiling and evaporation

In boiling, temperature of the liquid remains constant. While in evaporation, temperature of the liquid reduces

In boiling, temperature is required only at boiling point while in evaporation, temperature occurs at any given temperature.

In boiling, bubbles are formed while in evaporation, bubbles are not formed.

In boiling, a source of energy is required while in evaporation, the surrounding supplies the energy required.

Boiling produces heat and does not lead to liquid cooling, evaporation leads to liquid cooling.

The molecules of the liquid move faster in boiling than in evaporation
