By heating the intermolecular forces are weakened and liquid molecules can escape as a gas.

When water vapor condenses into a liquid does temperature rise?

Yes. There is latent heat release when vapor condenses.


What happens after water vapor?

the water vapor would rise up in the sky and then it will become cool, then it will form a cloud


What solid liquid and gas is in a hot air balloon?

The solid would be the basket and balloon, and the tanks holding flammable gas. The liquid is water vapor released by burning the gas. The gases are the fuel in the tank, and the heated air in the balloon that causes it to rise.


How are boiling and evaporating different?

Boiling specifically means that the liquid's partial vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure.From Wikipedia: "Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding environmental pressure."Simple evaporation is a slow process where a liquid turns to cool vapor at temperatures below the boiling point. Boilingis a rapid process where a liquid turns to hot vapor when heated to the boiling point. Boiling involves the formation of bubbles of this hot vapor, which rise to the surface of the liquid, where they break and release the vapor.


When heated bubbles rise to surface?

bubbles rise to the surface of a heated liquid as it changes to gas because they are less dense than the liquid.


How does water vapor become water?

water that is a liquid, evaporates into the air. and becomes dense forming moisture (water vapor)


What is the result of evaporation?

After evaporation there is a lot of water vapor in the air that will rise until it condenses into water droplets from the cold air. Evaporation just turns water (liquid) into vapors that rise (gas form).


Does water vapor rise?

yes


What is the process in which water changes from a liquid to a gas called?

evaporation. the water particles get heated up and they rise into the sky and build up. then we have rain storms


Why does heating a liquid make it rise?

Heated liquid rises because it reaches the boiling point.


How are two liquids separated using distillation?

Liquids can be separated by distillation because they have different boiling or condensation points. Alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water so the mixture is heated to the boiling point of alcohol and it leaves the mixture as a vapor (like steam) and is then cooled to become liquid again. In the case of petroleum the crude oil is heated and turns into a vapor. The vapor it allowed to rise in a tall tube (called a cracking tower because it breaks the oil vapor apart), As the vapor rises in the tube it becomes cooler and cooler. Different constituents of the vapor turn back into a liquid at different (cooler) heights in the tube. The liquid from the different heights is captured and drained into different tanks than the other liquids.


Why do vapor bubbles rise to surface when a liquid is boiling?

Since the bubbles have less density than the surrounding water, gravity pulls the water down, and the bubbles go up.
