Answer:

liquid turns into vapor when the liquid molecules achieves the energy to break down the form or when gets highly excited. The temp required for this is called latent heat of vaporization. As the liquid molecules attain this energy through heat it suddenly changes form into vapor , and when the heat is continued , molecule after molecule receives this energy and changes to vapor .So if you continue heating the liquid all the liquid will change form to vapor state leaving residue , ie the dissolved particles .
