2.2.2 Vaporisation Process
A process in which liquid is transformed into gas
Based on kinetics molecular theory,
molecules in a liquid move quite freely
each molecule possesses different magnitude of
kinetic energy
when the kinetic energy is sufficient enough to
overcome the attractive forces that bind them, the
molecules will loosen themselves and be
evaporated off
Occur in 2 ways;
evaporation
Boiling

EXAMPLE:
two liquid molecules escape

By referring the following graph, estimate
the boiling point of diethyl ether, water, and
mercury at 0.5 atm.

Question :
answer:
Condensation
Process at which vapour molecules return to the liquid phase. Due
to random motion, some of the molecules lose their kinetic energy
during collison, they reached the surface and trapped by attractive
forces and return as liquid molecules
