Evaporation & Condensation
  1. Example of Evaportation: When you hang wet clothes onto a washing line, they will gradually dry off. This happens in a process called evaporation.
    1. What is evaporation???

      Attachments:

      1. Evaporation is the process when water molecules escape from the surface of the water and enter the air.
        1. Definition of evaporation: Evaporation is when liquid turns to gas.

          Attachments:

    2. Example of Condensation: In a steamy bathroom, a mirror is often covered with a film of water. As there are lots of water molecules in the air, some of them hit the mirror, cool down and stay there. This is a process called condensation.
      1. What is condensation???
        1. Definition of condensation: Condensation is when a gas turns to a liquid.
      2. Cooling by evaporation: what is it???
        1. Example of Cooling by Evaporation: When you are at the doctor before an injection the nurse may 'numb' your skin so you don't feel any pain, by dabbing a liquid that evaporates easily onto your skin. The liquid will evaporate and your skin will feel to cold to feel pain.
          1. How does it work: The coolinh by evaporation of a liquid is all down to the fast moving molecules escaping from the liquid.
        2. There are ways of which we can increase the speed of these two processes.
          1. Evaporation can be increased by:
            1. 1) Increasing the surface area of the liquid
              1. 2) Increasing the temperature of the liquid
                1. 3) Creating a draught of air across the liquids surface
                2. Condensation can be increased by:
                  1. 1) Increasing the surface area
                    1. 2) Reducing the surface temperature
