What happens to the temperature of a liquid as it evaporates?

a.) It decreases.\n\nThis is because only the most energetic particles evaporate.  They need to achieve the evaporation temperature, and then also absorb the energy of vaporization.  This can happen to individual particles even when the liquid as a whole is not near this temperature.  Because only the most energetic particles evaporate, the remaining particles will have a lower internal energy, and thus a lower temperature.

evaporation... but actually evaporation is when a liquid becomes less dense so the molecules rise into the atmosphere! my answer is clearly the best!!!

Hot...In an open container of skating rink, hot water evaporates more quickly and thus cools more quickly.  At sufficiently high temperatures, evaporation is more important, if equal masses of water are taken at two starting temperatures, more rapid evaporation from the hotter one may diminish its mass enough to compensate for the greater temperature range it must cover to reach freezing.

Converting a liquid, such as water, to a vapor (what happens when water evaporates) takes a lot of energy.  The heat of the elephant's body is basically the energy source used for this, thus cooling him down.

evaporation is when the liquid form of water eevaporates or becomes water vapor. evaporation is one part of the water cycle and is a very large one. evaporation puts water into the air as a gas called water vapor. this then condenses into tiny droplets, forming clouds. \n\nhope this helps

It's not actually evaporation.  It's sublimation; the change of phase is directly from solid to gas.

Evaporative cooling. Alcohol evaporates easily. In order to evaporate, the alcohol takes heat away from the skin, reducing the body temperature. It works in the same way sweating does.

This is a damn good question, and I’m going to do you the credit of assuming it’s your own and not a homework question.\n\nYou’re right, it’s odd that water can evaporate from an ocean at 25oC when by definition water doesn’t have enough energy to vaporise until it hits 100oC. The answer lies in the way that we define and measure temperature.\n\n“Temperature’ as we normally apply it, and as we apply it to ocean water, is simply a measure of the average velocity of the atoms and molecules. Or more simply when we say that water is at 25oC we are really saying that on average they are at 25oC. In reality that probably means something like  25% of the water molecules are at 5oC, 50% at 20oC, 24% at 30oC and the other  1% are at 100oC or even higher.\n\nThat tiny percentage of molecules that are at 100oC or higher, if they are on the surface, can escape the water body and fly ff into the air. That is how water manages to evaporate even when it is well below 100oC.\n\nEven more suprisingly you can see this happening even if the water is frozen. Even when the average temperature is below 0oC some individual molecules will still be at 100oC.Those molecules can evaporate, and you can watch an ice cube slowly shrink and vanish completely over time even though it never melts.

When a solid is heated, the molecules become active and the bonds between them come looser, this is how a solid becomes a liquid.\nThe warmer the liquid becomes, the molecular bonds become even less connected and the liquid becomes a gas. (evaporation)\n\nWhen a gas is cooled, the molecular bonds change and they become tighter. or closer together causing the gas to turn back into a liquid (condensation).  And as the molecules become tighter still, then the liquid turns back into a solid.\n\nFreezing and melting points change per molecule.

>water evaporated at 100 degree Celsius.\n>oil remain for longer hour evaporated  (i.e) why people use oil to fry.

Evaporation is vaporization of a liquid below its boiling point.

water on the ground, in oceans, lakes, etc. has enough energy to evaporate a little bit (all liquids have a "vapor pressure," which is higher the hotter it is).  eventually, there is too much water in the air at whatever air temperature it is, so the water re-liquifies and falls.  this can commonly happen when a warm front (warm air holds lots of water) is cooled by a cold front.

When a Liquid evaporates it takes the heat of the surroundings to reach its Vapourisation State ... Thus making you fell cooler

Temperature affects state change. If something, for instance water, is heated, it becomes a gas. Gases take up more volume than liquids. So the hotter a gas is, the larger it will expand, and the same is true, to a lesser degree, for solids and liquids. Hope I helped,\nZ

When water is heated, the molecules begin to move faster and the bonds begin to break.  This results in evaporation of water into water vapor.  When water vapor cools back down and the molecules move slowly enough for the bonds to reform, the vapor condenses and reforms liquid water.

It will eventually melt at 2572C, and it will boil at 2850C.\n\nHeat does not cause it to react, typically.

Evaporation is one of the two forms of vaporization. It is the process whereby atoms or molecules in a liquid state (or solid state if the substance sublimes) gain sufficient energy to enter the gaseous state. It is the opposite process of condensation.
