Similarities between boiling and evaporation?

Evaporation and boiling are similar because both of them allow water to go through a physical change and have the water turn into a gas, by gaining energy. SACHIN KANSAL. SSD.KVS. bathinda


What physical change occurs when a plant leaves lose water through evaporation?

Physical change


Is ita chemical or physical change when plant leaves lose water through evaporation?

That is a physical change.


Differentiate between evaporation and boiling?

Some key points are 1) Evaporation takes internal energy while for boiling we have to provide external energy or we have to reduce the pressure. 2) As Evaporation takes internal energy therefore evaporation results in cooling while this is not observed in boiling. 3) Evaporation can occur below saturated temperature while Boiling occurs only at and above saturated temperature. 4) Evaporation occurs at only at the liquid/vapor interface while Boiling may occur at a solid/liquid interface. 5) Vapor bubbles are formed in Boiling while in Evaporation there are no bubble formation and no bubble motion. 6) There are different regimes of boiling (like nucleate boiling, transition boiling, film boiling etc.) while these regimes are not present in Evaporation. 7) Rate at which a substance changes from liquid to vapor through Evaporation is much slower than when Boiling. 8) Example of Evaporation are Water in a lake at 20°C, evaporates to air at 20°C and 60 percent relative humidity since the saturation pressure of water at 20°C is 2.34 kPa, and the vapor pressure of air at 20°C and 60 percent relative humidity is 1.4 kPa. Other examples of evaporation are the drying of clothes, fruits, and vegetables; the evaporation of sweat to cool the human body; and the rejection of waste heat in wet cooling towers. i am hoping that the above comparison will give you the clear picture about the evaporation and boiling.


What is the difference between transpiration and evaporation?

Evaporation is the changing a liquid into a gas through heat. Transpiration is the loss of water from an organism, as through pores in the skin.

Liquid water can change to water vapor through boiling or?

Evaporation


How does boiling differ evaporation?

Boiling is when a liquid is changing to a gas because it has gained enough energy, usually through heat, to overcome the pressure pushing on the liquid and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the liquid. Evaporatation is essentially the same thing as boiling, just like freezing is the same solidification.

Give three differences between evaporation and boiling?

They are similar in that both result in some of the liquid being lost to the surrounding ambient volume as a gas. The specific gas depends on the liquid. It's called steam when the liquid is boiling water. It's called humidity when it's evaporated water. They are different in the speed at which the liquid is converted into gas and in the nature of the gas emitted into the air. For evaporation, the liquid quietly off gases fairly slowly so the amount of gas (molecule sized particles) above the liquid is typically not visible to the naked eye. But for boiling, the liquid bubbles and off gases fairly rapidly so the amount of gas above the boiling liquid is seen as steam (if the liquid is water). We see the steam and not the humidity because the size of steam particles is larger than the molecular size of humidity.


What is the process by which particles escape from the surface of a non-boiling liquid?

Molecules speed up when they are turned from liquid into vapor. This is because they have more freedom to move around due to gaseous properties. Gases conform to the volume of the container, so they have more room to spread out, compared to liquids that do not have the ability to change volume
