Question

Define the term evaporation. What is the effect of temperature on it ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation is the surface phenomenon in which the particles at the surface gain enough energy to turn into vapour. There is a number of factors that affect the rate of evaporation.

Answer 2

Since the kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to its temperature, evaporation proceeds more quickly at higher temperatures. As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid decreases.
