Solution

Evaporation:

  • It is a process in which a phase transition occurs from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase.

Principle of Evaporation:

  • Evaporation is a surface phenomenon.
  • It works on the principle that liquids vaporize easily while solid does not.
  • The transformation of the surface liquid particles into vapors is spontaneous.
  • The rate of evaporation of volatile liquids is higher than that of non-volatile liquids as their particles require very low thermal energy to escape as vapors.
