Does LiCl boil at this situation

LiCl smoke particle is mixed very well atom by atom with 70% of other gas molecules over 2300 degree celsius. LiCl boils at around 1300 degree celsius.

Does LiCl boil in less than 0.1 second in this situation ?

How do i calculate this ?

I would think so, given the fine size and the extremely high temperature. Is this rocket exhaust you're talking about?

Yes, Im very sure it is atom to atom, i just found a revolutionary way. So if this boils, i guess im doing something great, watch out for my results then ;)

"Atom by atom"? You do know that LiCl is a compound, right? The best you could possibly hope for is molecule by molecule, and even that's not too likely given the close-packed crystal lattice structure of most ionic compounds, including LiCl.
