What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?
What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?
- Evaporation and boiling both occur throughout the liquid
- Boiling only occurs at the surface, while evaporation occurs throughout the liquid
- Evaporation only occurs at the surface, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid (correct)
- Evaporation and boiling both occur only at the surface
Why does evaporation occur faster at higher temperatures?
Why does evaporation occur faster at higher temperatures?
- Because air particles collide less with the surface at higher temperatures
- Because molecules throughout the liquid gain more energy at higher temperatures
- Because molecules move faster and have more energy at higher temperatures (correct)
- Because molecules slow down at higher temperatures
How does boiling differ from evaporation in terms of temperature?
How does boiling differ from evaporation in terms of temperature?
- Boiling temperature depends on the type of liquid, while evaporation temperature is fixed
- Both boiling and evaporation occur at the same temperature
- Boiling occurs at higher temperatures than evaporation (correct)
- Boiling occurs at lower temperatures than evaporation
