Boyle's Law

Boyle's Law describes the inverse relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at constant temperature and mass.

Boiling Point Factors

The atmospheric pressure affects the temperature at which water boils; higher pressure raises the boiling point.

Evaporation Particle Differences

Evaporated particles have more speed and higher energy than the particles that remain in the liquid phase.

Liquid to Gas Transition

When a liquid becomes a gas (vaporization), the particles break away from one another.
