What happens during evaporation?
There is a various process that takes place in life daily but we don’t notice it one of them is evaporation. In evaporation, matter changes from liquid to vapors. All matters are composed of tiny particles called molecules. Evaporation happens when molecules gain or lose energy. This energy change happens in the form of heat. Examples of evaporation: Evaporation happens when liquid is heated. For example, the sun heats the water of puddle, puddle slowly shrink. Then water slowly disappears. The water changes from liquid to gas.
Process of evaporation: All molecules in a liquid move. Some move faster than others, though. Te surface molecules absorb heat energy, start to move more quickly. This energy breaks the bond between water molecules. When the molecules are moving fast enough, they are able to “escape.” They leave the surface of the liquid as gas molecules
In Daily life: we experience evaporation in our daily life. For example, when we do hard work like exercise, sweat pours out of our body. The sweat coming out of our body gets energy from the body and eventually evaporates.
Factor affecting the rate of evaporation: There are 4 main factors that affect the rate of evaporation.
1Temperature(T): The rate of evaporation depends upon temperature. The rate of Evaporation is directly proportional to temperature. 2. Surface area: The rate of evaporation increase with the increase of surface area. because the greater the surface area, the more molecules escape from the surface of the liquid in the form of vapors. 3. Humidity: The rate of evaporation decrease with the increase of humidity. The rate of evaporation is inversely proportional to humidity. 4.Wind speed: The rate of evaporation increase with the increase of wind speed. Conclusion: After reading that I conclude that evaporation is the phenomena of the earth. Because evaporation is an important component of the earth’s water cycle. Sun supports the process of evaporation via solar energy. Evaporation starts when surface molecules absorb energy.
