What do rates of water evaporation depend on?
it depends on the current humidity, if the humidity is high the water will have trouble evaporating because it has no where to go, temperature and atmospheric pressure also play some part.
What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
Why you use mercury manometer to measure atmospheric pressure at sea level rather alcohol?
Mercury has two advantages over alcohol when it comes to measuring pressure in a manometer: 1) it is far denser than alcohol. A column of mercury need only be about 760 mm ( about 3/4 of a meter) high to exert a pressure equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level. Alcohol would have to be over 13 meters high to reach the same pressure! (rather impractical) 2) Mercury has a very low vapor pressure so it doesn't evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere. It also contributes a negligible amount of pressure above the column on the sealed end of the manometer for pretty much any atmospheric temperature. Alcohol has a significant vapor pressure so it would tend to evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere. It also has a high enough vapor pressure that it would contribute a noticeable amount of pressure on the sealed end of the manometer - and the pressure would vary quite noticeably over the range of temperatures that atmospheric manometers are commonly exposed to - so the manometer reading would always have to be corrected for temperature - more so than the mercury manometer must be.
What happenes when liquid is exposed to air?
When liquid is exposed to air, it tends to evaporate. This happens because the molecules are in constant motion, and from time to time, a molecule achieves sufficient energy to overcome the atmospheric pressure above the liquid, and it escapes as a vapor.
Why doesn't out body get crushed due to atmospheric pressure around us?
The atmospheric pressure will not crush us because there is a balanced force around us. The contents of our bodies are pushing out as much as the air is pushing in. In fact, it used to be thought that you would explode if you were exposed to a vacuum, though this is now thought to be wrong (It would be awful, but your skin is very stretchy). You can work out the pressure with the equation: PRESSURE= FORCE x AREA.
The phase of matter which is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure is solely dependent upon?
Temperature
What happens to rock when it is exposed to very high temperature?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
Does the temperature of ice vary?
Yes, the temperature of ice can vary depending on the conditions it is in. Ice will generally be at 0 degrees Celsius when at its melting point in normal atmospheric pressure conditions, but it can be colder if it is exposed to colder surroundings or if pressure changes.

What affect how quickly water evaporates?
Some factors are: temperature, pressure, area exposed to te atmosphere, purity of water, wind, stirring.

How does the factors affect evaporation explain?
- vapours tension- temperature- pressure- area exposed to atmosphere
What Is tellurium normal phase?
The normal phase of tellurium, which is a metal, is solid.
Which of the following factors affect the vapour pressure of a liquid?
Type of molecule: intermolecular forces between molecules are: * relatively strong, the vapor pressure will be relatively low. * relatively weak, the vapor pressure will be relatively high. Temperature: * higher temperature, more molecules have enough energy to escape from the liquid or solid. * lower temperature, fewer molecules have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid or solid.
Why are rock crystals different sizes?
Among other variants, the crystal size is dependent on the amount of chemical material available for growth, the temperature (and consistency of temperature) during formation, space available for growth, and time.
What is the definition of psia and psig in pressure unit?
Both units are based on the imperial Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). The suffix A refers to Absolute pressure, while G refers to Gauge pressure. Gauge pressure is defined as the difference between the measured pressure and atmospheric pressure. Most pressure measuring devices (gauges) measure the gauge pressure, as one side of the gauge is exposed to atmospheric pressure.
