Question

Evaporation takes place at/in _____.

• A. boiling point
• B. freezing point
• C. between the freezing point and boiling point
• D. all temperatures

Answer 1

The correct option is D

all temperatures

Evaporation:

1. Evaporation occurs at any temperature.
2. When air molecules collide with the surface, they transfer energy to water molecules.
3. If this energy is sufficient to change the phase of water molecules, the phenomenon of evaporation occurs. This can happen at any temperature.

Boiling point:

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.

Freezing point:

Freezing, also known as solidification, is a phase transition that occurs when the temperature of a liquid falls below its freezing point.

Therefore, option D is correct.
