A quick way to make a liquid boil without heating it is to place a container of the liquid in a vacuum chamber and start pumping out the air. Seawater is distilled with a big help from the reduction of pressure on it. That way it doesn't have to be heated so much to cause it to change to steam. Modern naval ships have water desalination facilities on board that rely in part of the idea of reduction of pressure to lower the boiling point of the water. It's faster and more energy efficient.

What does bring to a boil mean?

Usually this is referring to water or a similar liquid. Bring to a boil basically means you heat it on the stove until it boils. You can tell that it's boiling once the water is bubbling. Once it is boiling you have "brought it to a boil"


The heat needed to boil away one gram of a liquid at its boiling point is?

The heat needed to boil away one gram of a liquid at its boiling point is called the heat of vaporization. It is a characteristic property of each substance and represents the energy required to change one gram of the liquid to vapor at its boiling point without a change in temperature.


What two factors determine the point at which a liquid will boil?

Heat or energy applied and atmosphereic pressuresPressure and temperature (apex)


How long does it take thick liquid to boil?

It depends on the liquid, water is 100 Celsius. --------------- Everything is a little confused here. Solids are not liquids. If you are asking about time, you would have numerous additional factors to consider. The substance The boiling point. The starting temperature Quantity of the substance Amount of heat being applied, and even the maximum amount of heat that your heat source is capable of applying. Perhaps also insulation. An electric arc might be able to essentially vaporize a small amount of metal almost instantly. Consider an ancient flash bulb, or what happens when you connect too much power to an automobile fuse. Likewise, it takes very little effort to make liquid nitrogen boil.
