Rain water is absorbed into the ground. Some of the rain water is absorbed in plants. Some of it runs off into ponds, streams, rivers, lakes and oceans. Some of this water is eventually drunk by animals.

One day I was outside & saw water vapor after it rained I was confused because I didn't think that water evaporated a that temperature but it can, it doesn't need to be 100 degrees Celsius it just needs to be hot for a while & then it starts evaporating little by little.

Evaporation is a different process to boiling. The first is a surface effect that happens at any time, while the latter is a bulk transformation that only happens when the conditions are correct. Technically the water is not turning into a gas, but random movement of the surface molecules allows some of them enough energy to escape from the surface into the air. The rate at which they leave the surface depends on a number of factors - for instance the temperature of both air & water, the humidity of the air, and the size of the surface exposed. When the bridge is "steaming": the wood is marginally warmer than the air (due to the sun shine), the air is very humid (it has just been raining) & the water is spread out to expose a very large surface area. In fact, since the air is cooler & almost saturated with water, the molecules of water are almost immediately condensing into micro-droplets in the air - which is why you can see them.

BTW - steam is completely transparent. If U can see it then it is water vapor. Consider a kettle boiling - the white plume only occurs a short distance above the spout. Below that it is steam, above it has cooled into vapor.

What will happen to the water when the temperature rises?

It will boil and eventually evaporate.


What will you get if you boil salt water?

If you boil it, the water will evaporate. If you leave it boiling long enough, you should only have salt left.


How can you change the states of water?

boil it, freeze it or leave it in a jar to evaporate


What will happen when water boils for 2 hours.?

If you continue to boil water for 2 hours, or any extended length of time, it will evaporate, i.e. turn to steam (water vapor). Depending on how much water you have to begin with, and how long it let it boil, it could all evaporate, or only some will evaporate.


Will water with salt evaporate faster than water without salt experiment?

Water with salt will actually take longer than water without salt to evaporate. This is due to boiling point elevation. If you put a solute into water, it will make it more difficult to boil, and therefore will boil at a higher temperature. Since it takes longer for the salt water to boil, it will take longer for it to evaporate as well


A way to show that sea water is not a pure substance?

Boil it. The water will evaporate, leaving salt at the bottom of the pot, which did not evaporate and was left behind.


Why does salt water evaporate slower than regular water?

salt water evaporates slower than regular water because the salt makes it harder to boil and evaporate


What is the state of water at 257c?

There isn´t water at 257c because the water was starting to boil and to evaporate at 100c.
