What do you know about evaporation? Explain in 3 minutes.

What is Evaporation?

Evaporation is the process in which a liquid gains heat and changes into water vapor.

What do you know about water vapor? Explain in 2 minutes.

Poll

Which one of these statements are showing the process of evaporation?

• Water vapour or liquid in gaseous state is formed

• Water droplet is formed

• Steam or bubble in gaseous state is formed

Water vapor

Water vapor is liquid (or water) in gaseous state. It is colourless. We cannot see it although it's in the air.

Write in 5 minutes and explain the difference between evaporation and boiling.

Difference

• Evaporation can take place at any temperature, while boiling can take place at its boiling point (100ºC)

• Evaporation can take place at the surface of the liquid, while boiling can take place throughout the liquid.

• In evaporation, no bubbles are formed (but water vapor is formed), while in boiling, bubbles are formed throughout the liquid.

• The temperature of the remaining liquid drops during evaporation, while the temperature of the remaining liquid remains the same during boiling.
