The effect of temperature on the distribution of kinetic energies in a liquid. Fraction of molecules Lower temperature | Higher temperature Minimum kinetic energy needed to escape Kinetic energy Blue area = fraction of molecules having enough energy to evaporate at lower temperature Red + blue areas = fraction of molecules having enough energy to evaporate at higher temperature Part A As the temperature increases, does the rate of molecules escaping into the gas phase increase or decrease? The rate of molecules escaping into the gas phase increases The rate of molecules escaping into the gas phase decreases. There is no correlation between temperature and the rate of molecules escaping into the gas phase OIt depends on the liquid Submit Provide Feedback Request Answer Next >>
