Q

What affects the rate of evaporation?

A

Temp (higher temp quicker evaporation)
Surface of the liquid (Surface bigger evaporation quicker)
Air (More air moving across more molecules escape)

A

Temp (higher temp quicker evaporation)
Surface of the liquid (Surface bigger evaporation quicker)
Air (More air moving across more molecules escape)

17
Q

What happens to most materials when heated?

A

They expand (Because the molecules start moving faster which cases them to push each other)
