On heating, when the ice gets converted into water and as we continue further heating, we shall see that temperature begins to rise. The temperature keeps on rising till it reaches nearly $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ when it again becomes steady.

The heat supplied is now being utilised to change water from liquid state to vapour or gaseous state

The change of state from liquid to vapour (or gas) is called vaporisation.

It is observed that the temperature remains constant until the entire amount of the liquid is converted into vapour.

Both the liquid and vapour states of the substance coexist in thermal equilibrium, during the change of state from liquid to vapour.

The temperature at which the liquid and the vapour states of the substance coexist is called its boiling point.

The process of boiling of water:

Take a round-bottom flask, more than half filled with water.

Keep it over a burner and fix a thermometer and steam outlet through the cork of the flask. As water gets heated in the flask, note first that the air, which was dissolved in the water, will come out as small bubbles.
