1

A
In any temperature
2
Q
What is evaporation
A
The process of tightly packed particles spreading out (a liquid becoming a gas)
3
Q
What is the process of evaporation
A
- When a fluid is heated the particles gain energy
- When the particles gain enough energy the particles break through the liquid’s surface so the fastest particles escape
- These particles take their heat energy with them
- the liquid loses heat energy and cools, becoming a gas
