Q

What is the process of evaporation

A
  1. When a fluid is heated the particles gain energy
  2. When the particles gain enough energy the particles break through the liquid’s surface so the fastest particles escape
  3. These particles take their heat energy with them
  4. the liquid loses heat energy and cools, becoming a gas
