The conversion of liquid state into gaseous state is called …………
a) condensation                  

b) evaporation
c) crystallization                

d) sublimation

b

The molecules of gases liquids have ……… kinetic energy.
a) same                                 

b) different
c) a & b both                                       

d) none of these

b

Evaporation causes ……….
a) heating                                             

b) cooling
c) smelling                                            

d) ignition

b

Explanation:During evaporation, the liquid particles at the surface get heated and start vibrating at a greater amplitude. These particles move into a gaseous phase as the bond between them and the rest of the liquid breaks. This reduces the average energy possessed by the liquid and thus causes a cooling effect.



Evaporation takes place at ………. .
a) low temperature                             

b) high temperature
c) all  temperatures                           

d) none of these

c

Evaporation depends on …………..
a) surface area                                    

b) temperature
c) intermolecular forces     

d) all of these

d

Lower the surface area ………… will be evaporation.
a) lower                                

b) higher
c) much higher                    

d) has no effect

a

Explanation:Lower the surface area, lower molecules are available to escape so rate of evaporation will be low.
