Why the time needed to vaporize a sample is greater than the time needed to melt a sample?

The amount of time depends on the latent heat of vaporisation and the latent heat of melting.


How much heat is needed to vaporize 100g of water at 100 degrees C?

Heat of vaporization at 100 degrees C is 40.65 kJ/mol. 100g water * 1mol/18.015g = 5.55 mol 40.65*5.55 = 225.6452956 = 226 kJ if three sig figs.


How much heat is needed to vaporize 1.25 kg of ethanol?

The boiling point of ethanol is 78 C but it can evaporate slowly at just room temperature. You can set it on fire and it will vaporize even more quickly.


How much heat is absorbed for 1 kg of liquid gets vapourised into boiling point?

The amount of heat absorbed by 1 kg of liquid to vaporize it depends on what that liquid is, (water?), and what the temperature of the liquid is at the start of the process. Obviously, it will take more heat to vaporize 1 kg of liquid that is at 0º than it will to vaporize 1 kg of liquid that is at, say, 30º.

Why doesnt the all the water instantly vaporize when you reach the boiling point?

The boiling point is the temperature where a substance BEGINS to vaporize. So all of the water doesn't necessarily need to boil off instantly. To vaporize, molecules of water need to have energy. Only at the boiling point do they have enough energy to boil away, and when they do, they carry this energy with them. This means that a constant supply of heat for a certain period of time is needed for all water in a sample to boil off.


What happens to water when heat is added?

When heat is added to water the molecules move faster and faster until the water reaches it's boiling point and starts to vaporize.


Why heat is needed to boil water?

Because heat changes the temperature of the water
