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.

∙ 7y agoAdding heat might boil the water, but wouldn't affect the temperature at which water boils, which is what the boiling point is. You can reduce the boiling point by reducing the air pressure above the liquid.

∙ 13y agoReduce the pressure, in a vacuum the oil might boil.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoAs the boiling point of a liquid is related to pressure, putting the liquid in a vacuum will cause it to boil without applying heat.

∙ 12y agoReduce the air pressure it exists in.The lower the pressure the lover the temp needed to boil it. That's why a cup of tea on top of mount Everest is just not too hot.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYou take the air pressure from it and it will start to get hot but not bubble.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agono you need heat/electricity to warm the water up causing it to boil that's why its hot
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoYes, water can be boiled inside a closed insulated vessel by decreasing the pressure on the surface of the water.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, decrease pressure.

If you have a very heat sensitive liquid that will decompose if it is overheated How could you purify it by distillation without applying excessive heat?
Usually by using a vacuum pump or a water aspirator, the boiling point of the liquid is reduced.
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"
How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling of a liquid?
The stronger the forces, the more heat that must be added to boil the liquid
What does it mean to boil something?
To heat a liquid until its vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.
How can substance changes from liquid to gas?
The state change from liquid to a gas comes from the changing of the temperature. The increase of thermal energy will provide such a change. i.e. Heat it up and watch it boil!
How do you make oil boil without applying heat?
The Letter "B"
What affects heat has on liquid?
If you add enough heat to any liquid it will eventually boil and convert to a gas.
If you have a very heat sensitive liquid that will decompose if it is overheated How could you purify it by distillation without applying excessive heat?
Usually by using a vacuum pump or a water aspirator, the boiling point of the liquid is reduced.
What happens when liquid is supplied with heat?
It will boil/ become gaseous
Does cotton boil?
Actually, you can boil liquids, and cotton is not a liquid. If you apply heat to cotton, it would burn before it would boil.
If you add amounts of heat to a liquid what could happen?
The liquid may boil and become a gas.
What happens if you add a large amount of heat to a liquid?
The liquid may boil and become a gas.
What happens to liquid water when you add heat?
When you add heat to liquid water it gets warm. If it gets warm enough it will boil and evaporate.
Liquid nitrogen is -320 degrees does it have heat energy?
yes. It would cause liquid helium to boil if you mixed them.
What phase change from liquid to gas will take place if you add energy equal to the heat of vaporization?
The liquid will boil.
How long would it take a 55 gallon drum of liquid to boil?
That depends on 1 what the liquid was and 2 how much heat you are putting onto it.
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"
