How does surface evaporation happen?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
which the conditiondo the following will increase the rate of evaporation in water?
-temperature -surface area -vapour pressure
If you increase the surface area of water then the evaporation rate will do what?
Increase also.
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
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.
Why evaporation happens at the surface?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
Why rate of evaporation of liquid increases with increasing wind speed?
the rate of evaporation increases when a breeze or flow of air is present. If you refer to water transpiration, you can see that a breeze blowing over the surface of a plant's leaves increases the rate of evaporation of the water exiting the stoma.
Can you explain this question to me... The rate of evaporation from the surface of a lake would be increased by?
an increase in the surface area of the lake
Is evaporation a surface phenomenon?
Evaporation is greatest at the surface. The wind and sun and, boiling water on a kitchen stove, all increase the evaporation rate of the water - which is the process of turning liquid water into a water vapour.
What does physical process of evaporation involves?
Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. Evaporation is the releasing of molecules from the surface of a liquid and transformation in a gas.
What conditions will increase the rate of evaporation?
Heat speeds up the rate of evaporation.
Why does water evaporate at a temperature of a surface?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; but a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation.
