Evaporation and Thermodynamics Quiz

During a hot summer day, Jeremy and Rachel noticed that the water in their swimming pool was decreasing. What is the process by which water molecules from the pool are turning into vapor and mixing with the air?

• Condensation

• Sublimation

• Evaporation

• Precipitation

During a science experiment, Estefany and Jeremy noticed that increasing the temperature (a)   on the rate of evaporation of the water in their beaker.

• Decreases the rate of evaporation

• Has no effect on the rate of evaporation

• Stops the process of evaporation

• Increases the rate of evaporation

Evaporation cools down a liquid by (a)   .

• increasing the pressure
• decreasing the temperature
• increasing the temperature
• removing high energy particles

Lyann, Israel, and Estefany are conducting an experiment in their chemistry class. They sealed a soda bottle with a liquid and observed it for a while. What would be the consequence if there is net evaporation inside the soda bottle they are observing?

• It causes the liquid in the soda bottle to freeze

• It has no effect on the total pressure inside the soda bottle

• It increases the total pressure inside the soda bottle

• It decreases the total pressure inside the soda bottle

Rachel is conducting a science experiment and she noticed that the vapor pressure of a liquid in her experiment is changing. What could be the factor that Rachel's experiment's liquid's vapor pressure is dependent on?

• The total pressure in Rachel's lab

• The temperature in Rachel's lab

Estefany, Rachel, and Jeremy are enjoying a hot chocolate on a chilly Christmas morning. They observe a foggy mist rising from their mugs. What is this mist made of?

• Liquid water droplets

• Smoke

• Steam

• Water vapor

What is the wet bulb temperature used to measure?

• Humidity

• Temperature of a wet cloth

• Air pressure

• Heat and humidity combined

During a summer field trip, Israel and Estefany were discussing the effects of extreme heat. They concluded that the main concern if the wet bulb temperature reached 35 degrees Centigrade would be (a)   .

• Increased evaporation rate
• Inability to sweat and cool down
• Decreased humidity
• Formation of clouds
