Evaporation occurs at all temperatures, there is no set temperature for evaporation. The temperature would only affect the rate at which the liquid is evaporated - all other things being equal, warmer temperatures encourage faster evaporation. Evaporation will proceed much faster still if the surrounding air is very dry, and in constant motion.

The Temperature of Evaporation of a liquid is that temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. At that temperature heat (latent heat of vaporization) must be added to the liquid. The result will be a gas at exactly the same temperature as the liquid had been before it evaporated.

The additional heat simply changed the liquid from one state, liquid, to another state, gas, at the same temperature.

Why does heating cause a liquid to evaporate faster?

The most basic definition of heat is an increased movement at the molecular level - which is exactly what you are seeing.


Which is affected more when you increase the temperature?

Water is something that will be affected if you raise the temperature. When cooking, you may need to raise the temperature of water to a boil, in order to cook food.

Is sodium a liquid solid or gas?

It is a solid that can be liquefied In order to retrieve it to the solid form you need to allow the liquid to evaporate. It will leave the solid form. It is salt when chlorine is added, creating sodium chloride.

How the nitrogen is separated from air. what is the needed temperature for that?

You need to get the air liquid and then evaporate it - oxygen evaporates more easily than nitrogen. At normal pressure, air gets liquefied at about 78 kelvin (-195 degrees Celsius).


How do you quicken evaporation?

Evaporation is a function a substance's vapor pressure. There are two ways to increase the rate of evaporation. If you raise the temperature for most substances it evaporates more quickly. If you give it a larger surface area it will also evaporate more quickly.


When solid changes to liquid rise in temperature or drop in temperature?

What does water vapor need in order to change states from a gas to a liquid?

Water vapor needs to condense by cooling it.


Temperature when water changes from a gas to a liquid?

Water can evaporate even at relatively low temperatures, the water only needs to be slightly warmer than it's surroundings to evaporate, so there is no fixed temperature at which water vapour condenses to become water again. Although the above statement is true, water turns to a gas at boiling point of course, yet people tend to forget that when a substance is directly at boiling point (100 degrees Celsius for water) it can either turn into a gas or go from gas back to liquid. just under BP water gas turns completely to liquid while after BP the water liquid becomes a gas.


Do they use liquid helium for balloons?

No, in order for helium to be kept as a liquid it would need to be kept at a temperature of -268.93 degrees celsius.This is both highly difficult, and impracticle, therefore helium is stored and dispensed as a gas.


Does the mass of liquid affect the rate of temperature change?

Sure. Other things being equal, you need more energy to raise the temperature of a larger mass of liquid.


In grams how much is 10cc of liquid?

You would need to know what the liquid is, or what the density of the liquid is, in order to calculate that. For pure water at "standard temperature", 1 gram is defined to be equal to one cubic centimeter (cc). So 10 cc of water equals 10 grams.
