Questions and Answers

Evaporation is the process that changes liquid water to solid water.

False

Evaporation occurs when energy (heat) forces the bonds that hold water molecules together to break.

True

Study Notes

Evaporation

  • Evaporation is the process that changes liquid water to gaseous water (water vapor)
  • Water moves from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere via evaporation
  • Evaporation occurs when energy (heat) forces the bonds that hold water molecules together to break
  • Evaporation requires heat energy to break the bonds holding water molecules together

Boiling and Evaporation

  • Boiling water on the stove adds heat to liquid water, breaking the bonds and shifting the water to its gaseous state (water vapor), known as steam
  • Water easily evaporates at its boiling point (212° F, 100° C)

Evaporation Rate

  • Evaporation occurs more slowly at the freezing point due to the heat energy required to evaporate the water

Condensation

  • Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water
  • Condensation occurs when saturated air is cooled, such as on the outside of a glass of ice water
