CLASS 9 EVAPORATION (HINTS GIVEN IN THE END)
1Water as ice has a cooling effect, whereas water as steam may cause severe burns. Explain these observations.

2 Alka was making tea in a kettle. Suddenly she felt intense heat from the puff of steam gushing out of the spout of the kettle. She wondered whether the temperature of the steam was higher than that of the water boiling in the kettle. Comment

HINT1
In case of ice the water molecules have low energy while in the case of steam the water molecules have high energy. The high energy of water molecules in steam is transformed as heat and may cause burns. On the other hand, in case of ice, the water molecules take energy from the body and thus give a cooling effect.
. The temperature of both boiling water and steam is 100°C, but steam has more energy because of latent heat of vapourisation.(a) The water will cool initially till it reaches 0°C, the freezing point. At this stage the temperature will remain constant till all the water will freeze. After this temperature would fall again.
4 The rate of evaporation increases with an increase of surface area because evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Also, with the increase in air speed, the particles of water vapour will move away with the air, which will increase the rate of evaporation.Conditions that can increase the rate of evaporation of water are (a) an increase of surface area by spreading the shirt (b) an increase in temperature by putting the shirt under the sun (c) increase the wind speed by spreading it under the fan.
.6 (a) Evaporation produces cooling as the particles at the surface of the liquid gain energy from the surroundings and change into vapour thereby producing a cooling effect.
 (b) Air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature which is known as humidity. So, if the air is already rich in water vapour, it will not take up more water therefore, rate of evaporation of water will decrease.

1 In case of ice the water molecules have low energy while in the case of steam the water molecules have high energy. The high energy of water molecules in steam is transformed as heat and may cause burns. On the other hand, in case of ice, the water molecules take energy from the body and thus give a cooling effect.
The temperature of both boiling water and steam is 100°C, but steam has more energy because of latent heat of vapourisation
