terms:bubble_point

The temperature and pressure at which part of a liquid begins to convert to gas. For example, if a certain volume of liquid is held at constant pressure, but its temperature is increased, a point is reached at which bubbles of gas begin to form in the liquid. This is the bubble point. Similarly, if a certain volume of liquid is held at a constant temperature but the pressure is reduced, the point at which gas begins to form is the bubble point. Compare dew point.
