Question

Water evaporating off a hot and a room-temperature surface?

Look at the pictures above and write a brief description of what is happening in each one on the molecular level.

Answer 1

Answer: Hot and room temperature surface.

Explanation: from the picture the hot temperature surface has easy and loose intermolecular activity, there are more spaces between the molecules to escape. So, it is for the water molecules to evaporate faster which is directly propositional to the temperature. Simply when a water is boiled at 100 degrees that when the heat helps the molecules to evaporate fast through the steam. But when it is in the room temperature the molecules are slightly tightly packed to each other, that is the reason why molecules can't evaporate as fast as compared to the hot temperature. It mostly depends on the intermolecular bond and kinetic energy that helps the molecules to escape into the atmosphere.
