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.


What type of energy is absorbed or released when a substance changes phase?

pChanges in bonding arrangements between atoms and molecules result in absorption or release of heat (called latent heat). For example when water freezes, some heat is extracted to the environment, and the temperature does not fall until all is frozen. After that further removal of heat causes the temperature to fall below freezing point.


Is energy released when separating water molecules as ice melts?

Yes, that's right.What you are referring to is called the enthalpy of fusion or the latent heat of fusion.

What is manifest and latent content?

Manifest content is literal or surface meaning of the message being conveyed. Latent content is the underlying or implied meaning.

Latent heat in terms of molecular behaviour?

The energy supplied during latent heat is used to break/weaken intermolecular bonds and NOT to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Why is heat of fusion called the latent heat of fusion?

It is called latent because heat is supplied without any increase in temperature.
