Lava consists of many different substances that have different evaporation functions. Silicon dioxide evaporates, for example, at about 2200 °C.

absolutely correct! As a rule, sulphurous gases already vaporize from volcanoes which would be solid at lower temperatures. Since pure SiO2 has a relatively high solidus temperature, I would assume that other substances pass far earlier into the gaseous, important components of lava are usually Na+K+Ca and then Al and Si oxides, as well as Fe

I don’t know, but I don’t think lava can get gas. Probably she’d break up sometime.

You can’t do that. Melting and boiling points of substances cannot be calculated, because they are related to complex things such as the molecular structure of the respective substance.

And water is not liquid from 1°C, but from 0°C.

Right!

And during evaporation, it is the same only at 100° C. For example, if you want to evaporate a liter of water in the pan, it begins to boil (theoretically) at exactly 100°C. The resulting steam is warmer. The liquid water in the pot remains at 100° C. all the time, although heat energy is continuously supplied.

Whether water (each substance) is liquid, solid or gaseous at a certain temperature also depends on the ambient pressure. In the literature, normal pressure is always assumed.

At normal pressure, water is solid at below 0° C. and liquid at above 0° C.
