The skinlike surface on a liquid that pulls it together into the smallest possible area?
surface tension
How does evaporation work in the water cycle?
when liquid evaporate, it turns into a gas. The evaporation process causes cooling on the surface of where the liqiud originated
True or False The less surface area the faster a substance will change from a solid to a liquid?
When a substance goes from a solid to a liquid, it is melting. Generally, it is easier to heat an object that has more surface area because it has more area being exposed to heat.
How does increase in surface area effect rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is sometimes called a surface phenomenon. The molecules on the surface of the liquid tend to suspend themselves in the atmosphere. To change these liquid molecules to gaseous form they require heat energy. They take energy called latent heat from the surrounding particles and thus change themselves to gas molecules. That is why evaporation is called surface phenomenon. As it takes latent heat from the surrounding particles it also causes cooling.
How does the shape of a liquid drop play a role in the evaporation rate?
The relatively great surface area of a liquid drop impacts the evaporation rate. The greater the surface area, the greater the rate of evaporation. the converse is also true.
How does surface area affect the rate of cooling of soup?
Increased surface area increases cooling. Cooling occurs by convection of air above the soup and water vapour loss.
Will the surface area of a container affect the cooling rate of water?
Yes. Other things being equal, the cooling rate should be more or less proportional to the surface area.
What is the tendency of liquids to decreases their surface area to the smallest size possible?
The surface area of the liquid can decrease when there is increase in the temperature of the day,what is called evaporation is been taking place in the surface of the liquid,wchich decreases the liquid area.
How does surface area affect the cooling curve?
put it in the fridge
Why can you sip hot tea from a saucer faster than from a cup?
If you pour it in a saucer, it will spread out and there is less surface area and it cools faster.
Which cooling technology enables the contact surface area of the cooling device to be maximized with the CPU?
D. Thermal Paste
How do you calculate cooling tower surface area?
dear Sir, i have doubt about in frp bottle type and square type cooling tower, what is the calculation for calculat the contact surface area for assambled the fills. Regeards, raja
The tendency of a liquid that tends to minimize its surface area is called?
surface tenshion
What is the surface area of solubility?
There is no such thing as "surface area" of "solubility" since the latter refers to the maximum concentration in the solution of a solid (or liquid) in a liquid. "Surface area", as applied to such a phenomenon is meaningless. However, by *increasing* the surface area of, say, a salt, by grinding it, will increase its solubility. Maybe *that* is what the questioner meant.
What happens if you dont vacuum out an air conditioner?
The principle of an air conditioner is evaporation of a liquid, that results in cooling, the same way sweat evaporating off your skin causes cooling. The difference is after the liquid evaporates it is returned back into a liquid state by compression. The fins that surround the tubes that this gas/liquid travels around in, are there to transmit the cooling into the air by increasing the surface area. If you don't vacuum these fins the cooling effect of the evaporation does not reach the air, so the a.c. has to run longer to cool the room and you. If you clean them it will significantly reduce your energy costs, so do it.
What is the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount?
Surface Tention
The skinlike surface on a liquid that pulls it together into the smallest possible area?
surface tension
