Evaporation - the fastest molecules escape

1. When a Liquid is heated, the heat energy goes to the molecules, which makes them move faster.

2. Some molecules move faster than others.

2. Fast-moving molecules at the surface will overcome the forces of attraction from the other molecules and escape. This is Evaporation.

Can you compare evaporation and condensation?

Evaporation is the process in which there is a change of state from liquid to gas. Condensation it is the process in which there is a change of state from gaseous to liquid or solid. Evaporation takes place from surfaces, all the time at all places Condensation can take place on surfaces, or at any place in a gas, though it is often aided by the presence of dust or other small particles. Evaporation absorbs energy. Condensation gives out energy.


What describes the stage that occurs after evaporation in the water cycle A condensation B precipitation C transpiration?

There are four stages in the water cycle. Condensation takes place after evaporation.


Which must be present in the water cycle for evaporation to take place?

For evaporation to take place there must be some form of heat. This is heat from the sun


Can evaporation occur while its raining?

It is unlikely for evaporation to occur during rain because rain is typically associated with condensation. Evaporation takes place when liquid water turns into vapor due to heat energy from the sun. During rain, water is falling back to the surface in the form of precipitation, which is the opposite of evaporation.


What are the phase changes processes taking place when a substance is in equilibrium between liquid and gas phase?

Evaporating and condensing


Is it true that evaporation and condensation take place when water gains heat energy?

Evaporation is an endothermic process.Condensation is an exothermic process.


What of water takes place when the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation?

This is called an equilibrium.
