Pronunciation: [vˈɒlɐtəlˌa͡ɪzəbə͡l] (IPA) 
The word "volatilisable" is spelled with three syllables: /vɒləˈtɪlɪzəbl/. The first syllable is pronounced with the short "o" sound, followed by the "L" and "T" sounds. "I" is pronounced with a short "i" sound, and "L" follows with a long "i" sound. "A" is pronounced with a short "a" sound, and "B" has the same sound as in the word "able." The word means capable of being vaporized or evaporated.
"Volatilisable" is an adjective that describes the capability or tendency of a substance to convert or change into a vapor or gas state when exposed to heat, pressure, or other external factors. It is derived from the verb "volatile," which refers to the ability of a substance to easily evaporate or vaporize.
When a substance is volatilisable, it means it can readily undergo a phase transition from a solid or liquid into a gas or vapor. This process is largely influenced by the substance's boiling point, volatility, and intermolecular forces. Substances that have low boiling points and weak intermolecular forces are typically more volatilisable.
The volatilisation of a substance is often accompanied by the release of energy or heat, as the conversion from liquid or solid to a gas requires the input of thermal energy. This characteristic is extensively utilized in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and perfumery, to extract or isolate specific compounds through techniques like distillation or evaporation.
Overall, "volatilisable" is employed to describe the physical property of a substance that enables it to convert into a gaseous form when subjected to certain conditions. It emphasizes the substance's inherent ability to evaporate or vaporize easily, thereby facilitating its use in different applications that involve the separation, purification, or extraction of volatile compounds.

The word "volatilisable" is derived from the verb "volatilize" which means to convert into a volatile form or to evaporate. The term "volatilize" is a combination of the Latin prefix "volatilis" meaning "flying" or "volatile", derived from "volare" meaning "to fly", and the suffix "-ize" which means "to make" or "to become". Therefore, "volatilisable" is an adjective form of "volatilize" and refers to something that can be converted into a volatile form or can evaporate.
