INTRODUCTION
Evaporation is a process in which when a liquid on the surface
turns into a gas or vapour. When liquid is placed in an open
vessel. It slowly escapes into gaseous phase eventually leaving the
vessel empty. Evaporation of liquids can be explained in the terms
of kinetic molecular model although there are strong molecular
attractive forces which hold molecules together. The molecules
having sufficient kinetic energy can escape into gaseous phase. If
such molecules happen to come near the surface in a sample of
liquid all the molecules do not have same kinetic energy. There is
a small fraction of molecules which have enough kinetic energy to
overcome the attractive forces and escapes into gaseous phase.
Evaporation causes cooling. This is due to the reason that the
molecules which undergo evaporation have high kinetic energy
therefore the kinetic energy of the molecules which are left behind
is less.

EVAPORATION IN DAILY LIFE
1. After sweating, we get a cool feeling on our skin. This is
due to the evaporation of the sweat generated from our
bodies.
2. Washed or wet clothes are dried by evaporation. When the
clothes are hung outside in the sun, due to the heat of the sun, the
water droplets present in the clothes get dried away due to
evaporation.
3. In food processing industries, the process of evaporation is used
to dry out all the liquid contents and make the concentration of
solid content high.
4. Salt crystals are formed by creating a water solution, in which
the deposit settles down and the liquid above is left to evaporate.
Once the entire volume of the liquid gets evaporated we are left
with the salt crystal present below.
5. In the case of distillation, the mixtures with different boiling
points are heated until one of the mixtures gets evaporated; hence
the given mixtures are separated.
6. Evaporation occurs in the water cycle in which the water from
any water body on the surface of the earth is evaporated into the
air. This water when cools down causes rain.
