Evaporation And Condensation Flashcards
1
Q
What is condensation?
A
Particles in a gas have more energy than particles in a liquid. If the particles lose enough energy they will condense to form a liquid.
2
Q
How to change the rate of evaporation?
A
- increase the flow of air
- add energy
- increase the surface area of the liquid
3
Q
What is evaporation?
A
The ground doesn’t stay wet for long after rain because it dries up from evaporation. Particles with a higher energy than the average are constantly escaping from the surface of the liquid, some particles fall straight back into the liquid but others with a higher energy escape into the air.
