What is the process called when a liquid becomes hot enough for gas to form within the liquid and not
just at the surface?
Answer: Boiling
2. At what specific temperature does boiling take place for each pure liquid?
3. Which liquid has a lower boiling point and is more volatile: water or ethanol?
Answer: Ethanol
Answer: Condensation
Answer: By cooling
Answer: Yes
8. Define the term "boiling" in relation to the process of a liquid turning into a gas.
Answer: The process of change from liquid to gas at the boiling point of the substance, where gas
bubbles are able to form within the liquid.
Answer: 100 °C
10. What happens during condensation, and what is released?
Answer: A vapor or gas changes into a liquid, and heat is given out to the surroundings.
12. What can the precise melting and boiling points of a pure substance be used for?
Answer: They can be used to test the purity of a sample and identify unknown substances.
Answer: It can be measured using an electrically heated melting-point apparatus or other specialized
apparatus.
14. How do the melting and boiling points of a substance in relation to room temperature determine its
state?
Answer: If the melting point is below 25 °C and the boiling point is above 25 °C, the substance will be a
liquid at room temperature.
15. Why are the values for the melting and boiling points of a pure substance considered precise and
predictable?
Answer: The values for the melting and boiling points of a pure substance are consistent and can be
determined with accuracy, allowing for reliable testing and identification.
