What is an example of vaporization?

Answer 1

For water, one example is when a puddle dries out on a sunny day.

When water sits on a flat suface out in the sun, the energy forms water vapor making the surface dry.

If you draw an outline around a puddle and then come back two hours later you will see that the puddle has retreated due to it's loss of fluid via evaporation.

Alcohol, gasoline, liquid propane, and other liquids can also evaporate (vaporize). If you spill a few ounces of ethyl alcohol in a warm area, it will rapidly disappear.

The Simplest Examples I Can Think Of Are:

1. when a glass of water is left out overnight and the water level is found to drop.

2. when the "sweat" on a very cold glass of water disappears as the glass warms up.

3. a fish aquarium - over the course of a couple of weeks, the water level drops from evaporation.

4. a pot of water left on a hot stove boils away.

All evaporation means is liquid turning to gas: Water boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), but it actually begins to evaporate at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) - it just occurs extremely slowly at lower temperatures. As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation also increases.

Answer 2

An example of vaporization is when you're cooking pasta. To do so, you boil water. When the water boils, steam rises from the water. Energy is gained when the liquid turns into gas. The space and movement of particles increases. The boiling water turning into steam is a perfect example of vaporization.

Direct conversion from solid to vapor (for instance, as it happens with dry ice) is called sublimation.

Evaporation also turns liquids to gas, without having to go through boiling. This is evident when you see vapor coming off of puddles, or notice the water level in a lake slowly go down when there hasn't been any rain or snow melt.

Answer 3

Here are some examples of evaporation. A couple has a small above ground swimming pool for their children. The family is away for 5 days. When they return they must add water to the pool because the heat of the sun has evaporated some of the water in the pool. Heat makes water evaporate. Another example is in the flower garden. A person waters the flowers in the hot sun. Before most of the water on the flowers' leaves can soak in all the water, the heat of the sun has evaporated a small amount of the water.

Answer 4

Examples of evaporation include washing drying on the line. If varnish is put on to nails the ethyl ethanoate solvent evaporates to leave the varnish behind. When the Sun shines on the sea, water evaporates to feed the water cycle.

Answer 5

when you sweat the sweat eventually vapors into the air (after a while) and it cools the area of where it vapors on the organism.

Answer 6

An example of vaporization is when water is heated to its boiling point and changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state, forming water vapor.

Answer 7

Boiling water turning to steam ; puddles slowly drying up

Answer 8

Evaporatin occurs after rain. When you have a mud puddle, gradually the water evaporates into water vapor

Answer 9

steam from the bath and steam from the kettle
