Condesation And Evaporation Flashcards
How dose conduction work?
When a gas cools down the particles in a gas slow down and lose energy. The attraction forces pull them together closer. Then the gas becomes a liquid
What is evaporation?
When liquid turns to gas
How can particles in a liquid escape and become a gas by evaporation?
The particles are traveling in the right direction to escape a liquid. Or if the particles have enough energy to break free from the attraction force
The faster the rate speed of evaporation depends on what?
If the temperature of the liquid is higher, density of the liquid is lower, surface area of the liquid is larger, air flow over the liquid is greater
The faster the rate speed of condensation depends on what?
Temperature, surface area
How dose evaporation work?
Particles from the surface of the liquid can escape in to gas and the particles with the most energy evaporate meaning the liquid cools.
What is condensation?
When a gas turns into a liquid
