5 Questions
What is the main difference between evaporation and boiling?
Evaporation only occurs at the liquid's surface, while boiling happens throughout the liquid.
Why does a drop of rubbing alcohol evaporate faster on your hand than on the table?
The temperature of your hand is higher, leading to faster evaporation.
At what point does a liquid reach its boiling point?
When molecules throughout the liquid gain enough energy to change to a gas.
Why does evaporation occur more rapidly at higher temperatures?
Molecules at higher temperatures move faster, increasing the chances of evaporation.
What happens to a liquid's temperature during boiling?
It remains constant until all molecules turn into gas.
Understand the difference between evaporation and boiling. Learn how molecules gain enough energy to transition to the gaseous state and the factors affecting the rate of evaporation. Explore why evaporation can occur at any temperature and the distinction between evaporation and boiling.
