Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?

Evaporation and boiling are similar processes as they both involve molecules turning into gases due to high pressure.
Evaporation occurs only at high temperatures, while boiling can occur at any temperature.
Evaporation and boiling both involve molecules gaining energy to turn into a gas, but evaporation only occurs in liquids with low viscosity.
Evaporation involves molecules gaining enough energy to escape at the surface, while boiling involves molecules throughout the liquid gaining enough energy to turn into gas. (correct)

Why does rubbing alcohol evaporate faster on your hand than on a table?

Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster on the hand because it has a higher boiling point than on the table.
Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster on the hand due to the higher air pressure around it compared to the table.
Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster on the hand due to the lower temperature of the hand compared to the table.
Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster on the hand because the heat from the hand provides additional energy for evaporation. (correct)

What effect does temperature have on the rate of evaporation?

Temperature has no effect on the rate of evaporation.
Lower temperatures decrease the rate of evaporation.
Higher temperatures decrease the rate of evaporation.
Higher temperatures increase the rate of evaporation. (correct)

Study Notes

Evaporation

Evaporation occurs when surface molecules gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state
Molecules can gain energy by moving fast enough at the surface or through collisions with air particles
Evaporation can occur at any temperature, but rate increases with temperature

Boiling

Boiling occurs when molecules throughout the liquid gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state
Boiling point is the temperature at which molecules throughout the liquid can change to the gaseous state
During boiling, the liquid remains at a constant temperature until all molecules turn into a gas
