Chapter 11, Problem 27RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

On the basis of the distribution of kinetic energies of the molecules of a liquid, the reason for the increment of the rate of evaporation by increasing the temperature is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The process in which the state of a substance changes from liquid to gas is known as evaporation.

Evaporation of a substance varies with the temperature and this can be determined by changing the temperature to a specific value.
