The process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas is called?
Evaporation. THIS IS NOT "VAPORIZATION"... The answer is evaporation.
What is the process called when in boiling water the molecules move apart and escape in the form of water vapor?
The process is just called boiling. At the boiling point, the water molecules spread out to form steam. Water vapour can form at any temperature, and that process is evaporation.
What is the difference between the process of boiling and evaporation of water?
Boiling is a greatly expedited form of evaporation. When you heat something to its boiling point, it has enough energy for its molecules to rapidly escape. Evaporation is a much slower action, generally. It is just molecules at the surface gaining enough energy to escape. Both evaporation and boiling are endothermic processes. They will cool what ever the molecules are escaping from.
Boiling and evaporation are both forms of what?
Boiling and evaporation are both forms of changing liquids into gas. Boiling occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point, while evaporation can occur at any temperature.
How is the boiling of liquid related to the evaporation process?
Evaporation is partial boiling. When a liquid reaches its boiling point, no molecules of water will stay liquid and evaporation is at 100%.
What is it when a gas change to a liquid?
It can be called either boiling or evaporation.
How would particles change in evaporation?
Firstly, evaporation doesn't mean boiling, boiling is when the temperature reaches the boiling point. However, evaporation will occur in any temperature, and we can't see them. It occurs when there is exposure of water to air and water molecules change into vapor and these vapors rise up and form clouds.
Does water have to boil to evaporate?
Water does not necessarily have to boil to evaporate. Evaporation can occur at any temperature, even below the boiling point of water. While boiling is a rapid form of evaporation that happens at the boiling point, evaporation can happen at a slower rate at lower temperatures.
What is vaporization at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling?
Evaporation
Which is the slow process evaporation or boiling?
Evaporation is very slow at converting liquid to gas compared to boiling.
Does Evaporation have a phase change?
Evaporation is a form of the vaporization phase change. When the liquid turns to gas by vaporizing from the surface of the liquid it is called evaporation. Boiling is when the vaporizing is going on throughout the entire liquid.
When vaporization takes place on the surface of a liquid is called?
If vaporization takes place at the surface of a liquid, it is called evaporation. but when evaporation occurs throughout the substance it is called boiling.
