See BOIL.] The agitation of liquids when they are heated to their boiling-point. On heating water gradually in a gla flask, by means of a spirit-lamp, the air in the water expands and forms minute bubbles, which escape through the liquid with great rapidity. Larger bubbles of steam are then formed on the bottom of the ve el, which rise a little way in the liquid and are condensed, disappearing with a hi ing or simmering sound. When these bubbles rise through the surface and escape, the liquid is said to be in a state of ebullition . The temper- ature at which ebullition takes place varies with the pre ure of the atmosphere and the nature of the liquid. When the barometer stands at 30 inches, water boils at 212° Fah., because at this temperature the elas- tic force of steam will support 30 inches of mercury, and its bubbles, consequently, have the power of break- a powerful hydragogue cathartic.
