Distinguish between boiling and evaporation of liquid.
Boiling of liquid | Evaporation of liquid | |
i. | Boiling of liquid takes place at boiling point which is fixed for a given pressure and unique for a given liquid. | Evaporation of liquid can take place at any temperature. |
ii. | It occurs throughout the liquid. | It occurs only at surface of liquid. |
iii. | The process does not depend on area of liquid surface exposed. | The process depends upon area of liquid surface exposed. Higher the exposed surface area, higher the rate of evaporation. |
iv. | Source of energy is needed. | Energy is taken from surrounding. |
v. | Boiling does not reduce temperature of liquid. | When evaporation takes place, temperature of liquid decreases. |
vi. | During boiling process, bubbles are formed in liquid. | During evaporation, no bubbles are formed in liquid. |
