BOILING AND EVAPORATION USING KINETIC THEORY
BOILING
Boiling is when a liquid is heated to a certain temperature, causing it to turn into gas
Boiling (using kinetic theory)
-
Particles in a liquid move at different speeds.
-
When heat is added, particles move faster.
-
At the boiling point, particles get enough energy to break free.
-
Bubbles form in the liquid and rise to the surface.
-
Boiling happens throughout the whole liquid.
-
The fast-moving particles turn into gas.
EVAPORATION
Evaporation is when liquid particles at the surface gain enough energy to escape into the air, turning into gas.
Evaporation (using kinetic theory)
-
Only the fastest particles at the surface escape.
-
Evaporation can happen at any temperature.
-
Fast particles break free from the liquid and go into the air.
-
Evaporation happens slowly, just on the surface.
-
The remaining liquid becomes cooler as slower particles are left behind.
-
Evaporation continues as long as some particles can escape.
