Differentiate between vaporization, evaporation and sublimation
Dear student,
Vaporization takes place when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to move independently, forming a gas. Vaporization is a more general term and applies to both evaporation and boiling. Vaporization is any process that describes the conversion of a liquid to a gas by boiling/heating.
Changing a liquid into a gaseous form is called evaporation. In this method, the mixture is heated. The liquid part of the mixture evaporates and escapes, leaving the solid part behind. For example, a mixture of common salt and water can be separated by evaporation. In fact, evaporating seawater is one of the oldest ways of obtaining salt.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization process of liquid into the gas state on its surface.
A change of state directly from solid to gas without changing into liquid state is called sublimation. For example, when ammonium chloride is heated, it changes directly from the solid-state into the gaseous state. Similarly naphthalene balls, dry ice also undergo sublimation. Another example is camphor, which on heating changes directly from the solid-state into the gaseous state.
Regards
