Question

Explain evaporation on the basis of molecular motion?

Answer 1

As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid decreases. This phenomenon is also called evaporative cooling. ... Three key parts to evaporationare heat, atmospheric pressure (determines the percent humidity), and airmovement.
