Questions Related to evaporation

Statement-1
Evaporation takes place from the surface of a liquid.
Statement-2
The molecules at the surface have less attractive energy than those inside the liquid.

physics the kinetic model of matter evaporation heat, internal energy and work phase change

  1. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true and Statement-2 is the correct explanation for Statement- 1

  2. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true but Statement-2 is not the correct explanation for Staement-1

  3. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

  4. Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon.
Particles present on the surface of a liquid only face attraction from one side (the side containing fluid particles) and surface tension. Where as particles inside the liquid would face attractive forces from all around, making it difficult for such particles to evaporate or escape.
Hence the statement is true, explanation is true and the explanation is the correct explanation for the statement.

Which of the following statement is wrong ?

physics the kinetic model of matter evaporation heat, internal energy and work phase change

  1. At room temperature evaporation of water is rapid as compared to ethanol

  2. Water is more viscous as compared to ethanol

  3. Liquid drops are spherical in shape

  4. Clothes are easily dried in dry day as compared to humid days

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

A: At room temperature evaporation of ethanol is rapid as compared to water. Hence, A is incorrect. 

B: water is more viscous compared to ethanol, hence statement is true. 
C: liquid drops are spherical due to surface tension of liquid drop,hence statement is true.
D: Clothes are dried easily as it is less humid on dry day,hence statement is true.
