What kind of process is boiling?
[ "spheroidal", "cavitation", "isothermal", "chemical" ]
C
As with melting, the energy in boiling goes exclusively to changing the phase of a substance; it does not go into changing the temperature of a substance. So boiling is also an isothermal process. Only when all of a substance has boiled does any additional energy go to changing its temperature. What happens when a liqu...
