Why does the volume of liquid decrease in an open container over time?
Due to evaporation
What happens to the temperature of a liquid during evaporation?
Decreases
Why do liquids evaporate faster when heated?
Heat increases the kinetic energy of molecules
What type of molecules escape first during evaporation?
Molecules with the highest kinetic energy
What is the reason behind the faster evaporation of liquids when heated?
Increased kinetic energy overcoming attractive forces
