Vapourisation
« on: June 16, 2008, 09:45:23 AM »
How does rapid vapourisation results in lowering of the liquid temperature? And how this principle i sused in liquification of air or real gases? PLEASE anyone can help me

Where does the energy required for boiling come from?

Heat energy is provided from external source.

What if there is no external source? Imagine you have water at 50 deg C and you put it into vacuum. Water boils, if you have ever used vaccum filtration you may have seen that. Where does the necessary heat comes from?

Heat comes from collision of liquid particles among themselves.
Is the reason correct or not?

No, it is wrong. Collisions are not form of energy. You are looking for a heat source. Heat is a form of energy, so you have to look for other forms of energy present. You are close, but you are wrong.

I think energy comes from kinetic energy of molecules.Am i correct?

Very good. Now, do you know how the kinetic energy of molecules is related to temperature? Do you know what will happen to temperature when you will use some of the molecules kinetic energy?
