Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics
During the evaporation of liquid
A
the temperature of the liquid will rise
B
the temperature of the liquid will fall
C
may rise or fall depending on the nature
D
the temperature remains unaffected
Answer
the temperature of the liquid will fall
Explanation
Solution
During evaporation/molecules having high energy leave the surface of liquid. As a result average kinetic energy of liquid decreases. KE∝T ∴ Temperature of liquid falls.
