Evaporation is the process by which molecules of a liquid gain enough energy to transition into the gas phase. It occurs at the surface of the liquid and can happen at any temperature, although it happens more quickly at higher temperatures. In evaporation, individual molecules escape from the liquid into the air, where they disperse as vapor. Factors that influence the rate of evaporation include: 1. **Temperature**: Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of molecules, leading to a higher rate of evaporation.
