Thermodynamics II
Vaporization is the process by which a substance transitions from a liquid state to a gaseous state. This process can occur through two main mechanisms: evaporation, which happens at any temperature below the boiling point, and boiling, which occurs at the boiling point of the liquid. Understanding vaporization is crucial for analyzing phase changes, chemical potentials, and the stability of phases in various thermodynamic contexts.
