Question

Which among the given statements are correct about evaporation?

• A. It involves conversion from liquid to gaseous state.
• B. It happens below the boiling point of the liquid.
• C. It happens above the boiling point of the liquid.
• D. It can happen at any temperature.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A It involves conversion from liquid to gaseous state.
B It happens below the boiling point of the liquid.

Evaporation is the conversion of a substance from the liquid to its gaseous state from the surface of the liquid. Its rate is increased by a number of factors such as a high surface area and wind. It happens below the boiling point of the liquid. At the boiling point, the liquid is said to boil or vaporize. Above the boiling point, there is no liquid left to vaporize.
