What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?
What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?
- Boiling results in the liquid remaining at the same temperature, while evaporation changes the temperature.
- Boiling requires a higher temperature than evaporation.
- Evaporation occurs at the surface, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid. (correct)
- Evaporation can only occur at the boiling point of the liquid.
Why does a drop of rubbing alcohol evaporate faster on your hand than on the table?
Why does a drop of rubbing alcohol evaporate faster on your hand than on the table?
- The hand provides more air particles to collide with the surface of the alcohol, providing more energy for the molecules to escape.
- The hand is more porous than the table, allowing the alcohol vapor to escape more easily.
- The hand has a lower surface tension than the table, allowing the alcohol to spread out more and evaporate faster.
- The hand is warmer than the table, so the molecules on the hand have more energy to escape. (correct)
What is the boiling point of a substance?
What is the boiling point of a substance?
- The temperature at which molecules throughout the liquid can change to the gaseous state. (correct)
- The temperature at which the liquid and gas phases of the substance are in equilibrium.
- The temperature at which molecules at the surface of the liquid can enter the gaseous state.
- The temperature at which the liquid stops evaporating and begins boiling.
