Evaporation
Key Principals to Understand and Remember
- Water Vapor is Lighter than Air
Air: Nitrogen (80% of air) heavier molecular weight than Hydrogen and Oxygen - Warmer Air can absorb (or hold) more vapor than colder air
- Condensation when you are evaporating occurs when the water vapor hits a surface
- A defined space (a cubic meter) can only absorb a limited volume of water vapor or other gases Ammonia gas NH3
- Water as it moves from a more ordered state (Ice to water and water to vapor) to a less ordered state vapor, absorbs energy
