5 Questions
What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?
Evaporation only occurs at the surface, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid
Why does evaporation occur faster at higher temperatures?
Because molecules move faster and have more energy at higher temperatures
How does boiling differ from evaporation in terms of temperature?
Boiling occurs at higher temperatures than evaporation
Why does a drop of rubbing alcohol evaporate faster on your hand than on a table?
Because your hand provides more energy for rubbing alcohol molecules to escape
What happens to the temperature of a liquid during boiling?
The temperature remains constant until all molecules turn into gas
Explore the differences between evaporation and boiling, including how they occur and the factors that influence their rates. Learn how molecules gain enough energy to transition into the gaseous state in both processes.
