Question

14 multiple choice 1 point what phase change is involved when a liquid turns into a gas
sublimation
deionization
melting
deposition
vaporization/evaporation
freezing
ionization
condensation
clear my selection

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each phase change:

• Sublimation: Solid to Gas.
• Deionization: Not a phase change (removal of ions).
• Melting: Solid to Liquid.
• Deposition: Gas to Solid.
• Vaporization/Evaporation: Liquid to Gas (Evaporation is a type of Vaporization, occurring at the liquid - gas interface below boiling point, Vaporization can also refer to boiling).
• Freezing: Liquid to Solid.
• Ionization: Not a phase change (formation of ions).
• Condensation: Gas to Liquid.

So the phase change when a liquid turns into a gas is Vaporization/Evaporation.

Answer:

Vaporization/Evaporation
