No. The temperature doesn't have to be the same for a liquid to evaperate. so if the temperature was constanly changing then the liquid could still evaperate.

What is it called when vaporization occurs below the surface of a liquid?

Evaporation occur at the surface of a liquid; under the surface is vaporization.


Difference between evaporation and boiling?

The difference in evaporation and boiling is simple. Just imagine a beaker and being placed on the hot plate. The liquid it beginning to evaporate and the their is a gradient in the water because not all of the water is reaching 100 degrees Celsius at once. Some of it is beginning to evaporate (change in the state from a liquid to a gas) the other is beginning to boil! Remember boiling is a characteristic property and once it is reached the temperature doesn't continue to increase. Hope this helped!Vaporization if the phase change from a liquid to a gas. Evaporation and boiling are both mechanisms for vaporization to occur. Evaporation occurs at the surface of the liquid. It is the primary method by which water moves from bodies of water into the atmosphere. It is a much slower process than boiling. Boiling occurs when a liquid is heated to the boiling point. During boiling, water evaporates throughout the entire liquid very fast, rather than just at the surface.Evaporation happens only at the surface of a liquid and occurs at any temperature (so long as the substance is a liquid at that temperature). However, as most people are aware, liquids evaporates faster at a higher temperature. Boiling, on the other hand, happens throughout the bulk of a liquid, usually starting from some site on the inside of the container and rising in a bubble to the surface. It only happens when the temperature is above the boiling point of that substance.


Are necessary for evaporation to occur?

For evaporation to occur you need the following: Heat (energy), and water.


What is vaperization?

I think you mean vaporization. Vaporization is the phase change of matter from a liquid to a gas (vapor). Vaporization can occur through evaporation or boiling.


Explain the difference between flash point and fire point?

Flash point is the temperature at which a flash will occur across the face of a liquid and go out. Fire point is the temperature at which a flash will occur above the liquid and the resultant fire will continue to burn.

What is different evaporation and vaporization?

Evaporation occur at the surface of a liquid and at any temperature under the boiling point.Vaporization occur only at the boiling point and in the entire volume of the liquid.


What is liquid to gas evaporation called?

1. When the phenomenon occur at a temperature under the boiling point, at the surface of a liquid, the term is evaporation.2. When the phenomenon occur at the boiling point, in all the volume of the liquid, the term is boiling.


What does physical process of evaporation involves?

Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. Evaporation is the releasing of molecules from the surface of a liquid and transformation in a gas.


When does evaporation occurs for a given substance?

Evaporation is the phenomenon of transformation from liquid to gas which occur at the surface of the liquid. Evaporation is possible also at a temperature lower than the boiling point.


How do you make liquid water into water vapor?

- Evaporation is possible at any temperature - At the boiling point vaporization occur


How does vaporization relate to evaporation and boiling.?

Vaporization occur at the boiling point and from the total volume of the liquid.Evaporation occur at any temperature but only from the surface of the liquid.


Does evaporation need hot or cold water?

Evaporation occur at any temperature but a high temperature favors evaporation.


Does evaporation occur at the surface of the liquid?

Yes.


Does evaporation only happen when water is heated to high temperature?

Evaporation occur at any temperature.


What causes evaporation of Earths waters to occur?

The cause of evaporation is the continuous movement of molecules at the surface of a liquid; gaining more energy they can escape in the air. Temperature favors this process.
