In a liquid state, particles are moving at many different speeds. At the surface of the liquid, some of the faster-moving particles are able to escape into the air. Slower-moving particles stay in the liquid state. Slower motion means lower average energy, however, and this means lower temperature. As high-energy particles leave the surface of a liquid it then cools the surface on which it is resting. Scientist call this phenomenon evaporative cooling. Evaporating cooling is common and can be very useful.

What happens to the system in which the contained liquid evaporates at room temperature?

As the liquid evaporates at room temperature, the system will experience a decrease in the amount of liquid present and an increase in the amount of vapor in the container. This will result in a change in the pressure and temperature within the system as the liquid continues to evaporate.

What happens to the temp when a liquid evaporates?

When a liquid evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together, leading to a cooling effect. As the more energetic molecules leave the liquid phase and become gas, the overall temperature of the remaining liquid may decrease.


What is the difference between boiling and effervescence?

Boiling happens when you heat a liquid, until it evaporates. Effervscense is some gas that escapes, due to some chemical reaction - but not necessarily due to heat.Boiling happens when you heat a liquid, until it evaporates.
