Does higher boiling point evaporate faster?

Evaporation and boiling are the same process, liquid water is converted to water vapour. To convert from liquid to gas the water molecules have to absorb heat. The rapidly the heat is supplied, the faster the liquid water changes to a gas. In evaporation this heat comes from the air the water is exposed to, the surface the water sits on and the heat already in the water (hot water cools as it evaporates). This process is relatively slow compared to boiling water where a lot of heat is being put into the system by the stove or hot plate. It takes the same amount of heat to boil or evaporate the same amount of water. Boiling provides this heat much more quickly. Therefore boiling water evaporates much more quickly.


Why does the land lose heat more quickly at night than a body of water does?

Land loses heat more quickly at night than water because land has lower specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity compared to water. This means that land temperature changes more rapidly with changes in energy input or output, while water can absorb and retain more heat. This leads to cooler temperatures on land at night compared to bodies of water.


How does land and water absorb and release heat?

Land absorbs and releases heat faster than water due to its lower specific heat capacity. Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Water's higher specific heat allows it to absorb and release heat more slowly than land, which leads to more stable temperatures near water bodies.


Does the ice cube melt faster on water or land?

The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.


What happens when heat is added to a substance?

well this isn't a specific question you see there is 2 different kind of substances ; For example:... solid : when heat is added to a solid it becomes a liquid liquid: when heat is added to a liquid it becomes a gas! for example water > if you add heat it will hot add or take away chemicals!

Why land releases heat faster than water?

Water has a higher specific heat, and this is an intensive property of the substance itself.


Why a hotter substance cools faster?

A hot substance will pass on heat to a substance at a cooler temperature. If it was surrounded by an even hotter substance it would be "given" heat. Heat can only flow from hotter to colder, just as water flows from higher to lower ground. If the temperature difference between the substances is great, then heat will pass more quickly, but if the difference is very slight, then the flow of heat will be very much slower.

What happens to atoms of A substance when heat is added?

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster.


The particles of a substance will move faster if what is added on to them?

If heat is added to it.


Is the melting point of a substance is the same as it's surroundings?

no this would depend on the atoms of the substance. for example if you have a block of ice and a block of butterthe block of ice would melt faster because its atoms move more faster to heat than butter does


Does the amount of heat in a substance depend on the motion of the molecules?

Yes, the amount of heat in a substance is related to the motion of its molecules. Heat is a form of energy that corresponds to the motion of molecules within a substance. The more heat a substance has, the faster its molecules move.


Which will heat faster water or sand?

water.


Does water or soil lose heat faster?

Soil will lose heat faster than water. This depends on the specific heat of the two substances you are comparing. Specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise its temperature by 1 degree celsius. It also describes the amount of energy the substance would have to lose to change the temperature by one degree. The specific heat of water is unusually high (1 calorie/gram of water). The specific heat of granite, which is similar to the specific heat of soil minerals, is only 0.19 calorie/gram of granite). Dry soil will lose heat more slowly than wet soil.


What is difference between dry heat and moist heat?

Dry heat is the absolute substance temperature without accounting for the modulating effects of water vapor in the substance. Moist heat is the relative substance temperature when accounting for the modulating effects of water vapor.


What happens to the molecules of a substance when it is melted?

the molecules vibrate, faster and faster as the heat increases then they become disordered


When a substance absorbs heat its molecules move faster and it?

And farther apart, and it changes phase: ice to water, water to gas,
