What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Evaporation occurs when liquid molecules escape from the surface and become gas, while boiling is when bubbles of gas form within the liquid.

At what temperature does evaporation occur?

Evaporation can occur at any temperature.

What is the effect of temperature on the rate of evaporation?

As temperature increases, more particles have enough energy to escape the surface, resulting in a higher rate of evaporation.

How does surface area affect the rate of evaporation?

A larger surface area allows more particles to be close to the surface, increasing the number of particles that can escape in a given time and yielding a higher rate of evaporation.

What is the cooling effect of evaporation?

Evaporation has a cooling effect because the particles that escape the surface take away some of the heat energy from the remaining liquid.

What is the process of boiling?

Boiling is when bubbles of gas form within the liquid after reaching its boiling point.

What is the effect of air flow on the rate of evaporation?

Moving air carries away escaped particles, preventing them from dropping back into the liquid and increasing the rate of evaporation.

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as temperature increases?

The kinetic energy of particles increases as temperature increases.
