Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.

The
surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance. When the molecules of the liquid collide,
they transfer energy to each other based on how they collide with each other.

Which type of process is evaporation?


Evaporation is one of the two forms of vaporization. It is the process whereby atoms or molecules in a liquid
state (or solid state if the substance sublimes) gain sufficient energy to enter the gaseous state. It is the
opposite process of condensation.
What is evaporation and examples?
Evaporation is when a liquid becomes a gas without forming bubbles inside the liquid volume. If bubbles are
formed we are talking instead about "boiling". For example, water left in a bowl will slowly disappear. The
water evaporates into water vapor, the gas phase of water. The water vapor mixes with the air.

What is used to measure evaporation?

An atmometer or evaporimeter is a scientific instrument used for measuring the rate of


water evaporation from a wet surface to the atmosphere. Atmometers are mainly used by farmers and growers
to measure evapotranspiration (ET) rates of crops at any field location.

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals
the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.

3. What is Evaporation?
 Evaporation is the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase
in temperature and/or pressure.
 Evaporation is a fundamental part of the water cycle and is constantly occurring throughout nature.

4. Examples of evaporation processes


 after taking a shower.
 Decrease in the level of water kept outside under sunlight.
 Making of common salt

5. Evaporation

6. Everyday Life Examples of Evaporation


 Drying Clothes under the Sun
 Ironing of Clothes
 Cooling Down of Hot Tea and Other Hot Liquids
 Wet Floors
 Melting of Ice Cubes
 Preparation of Common Salt
 Evaporation of Nail Paint Remover
 Drying of Wet Hair

 Distillation Process
 Working of a Pressure Cooker
 Brings Rain

7. What are two examples of Evaporation?


 Perspiration
 All liquids evaporate under the right pressure/temperature.

8. How is evaporation used?


 When a molecule near the surface absorbs enough energy to overcome the vapor pressure, it will escape
and enter the surrounding air as a gas. When evaporation occurs, the energy removed from the vaporized
liquid will reduce the temperature of the liquid, resulting in evaporative cooling.

9. Why is evaporation important?


 The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water
vapor. Evaporation is a very important part of the water cycle. Heat from the sun, or solar energy,
powers the evaporation process. ... Once water evaporates, it also helps form clouds.

10. What factors affect evaporation?


 Temperature: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.
 Surface area: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area.
 Humidity: The amount of water vapour present in the air is called humidity.
