Evaporation Lab

Evaporation happens every day, everywhere on Earth. It is the process of water turning into water vapor. It then travels to the clouds and condenses. This is condensation, where water vapor turns into clouds. When the clouds get too heavy, they then drop all the water in them. This stage is precipitation, or rain, snow, sleet, or hail. It then runs off into a stream, lake, creek, or ocean, the cycle then repeats. This cycle is called the water cycle.

2A. Evaporation is related to the properties of matter because it is a liquid and a gas. We know this because there are three states of matter which are soild, liquid and gas since evaporation first starts as a liquid (water). Then it turns into gas (cloud).

Water is the most abundant resource on the planet and is one that is vital to all living organisms. Plants especially depend greatly on water and contain structures in their body in order to use the water efficiently. Water relations is a research field that deals with investigating how environmental factors affect the plant’s usage of the water (Bot 201L lab manual, 2016). A study was conducted to see how low water in the soil affected the uptake of water in Alfalfa leaves and if it had any effect on the plant’s photosynthesis rate. (Abid et al, 2016). It was found that there was a correlation between the photosynthesis rate and the amount of water the leaves would uptake since the stomata on the alfalfa leaves would remain closed (Abid et al, 2016). Since the stomata would close more

Do you think that all liquids evaporate at the same rate? Without any research an average person would think that water and oil would evaporate at the same rate since they are both liquids. Through research, science shows that due to their density oil will take longer to evaporate since it has more mass. Does the amount of density in the liquids make them all evaporate at the same rate? All liquids do not evaporate at the same rate because denser liquids take longer to evaporate. Why does water evaporate? Evaporation is a very important part of the water cycle. Heat from the sun, or solar energy, powers the evaporation process.

This lab's function was the study of osmosis and concentration gradients. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to a lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. Permeable membranes allow certain solvents to pass through while selectively preventing solutes from doing the same. Tonicity dictates the direction and speed of diffusion. Plant cell thrive better in an hypotonic environment, allowing them to always be full of water and thus turgid.

Evaporation is when liquid in an open container turns into a gas. Different liquids evaporate at different rates than others. The rate of evaporations increases as the temperature increases. Evaporation may be explained by considering the attractive forces involved and the kinetic energy needed to overcome these forces. This process is the opposite of condensation.

The process of removing various salts and minerals from water through evaporation and condensation is called solar-powered desalination. Though humans use expensive equipment to speed up the process, water desalination occurs organically (“Desalination - An Overview”). In the water cycle, water increasingly becomes hotter because of the Sun. Eventually, it evaporates and leaves behind the salts and minerals it contained. When warm air containing the water vapor comes into contact with a cool surface, water droplets form; this process is called condensation. For example. water droplets can be found on a glass of lemonade if left outside on a hot summer day. This is because the glass is cool and the air is warm. ("When a Cup Is Cold, and Creates

Lab Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to test the membrane dynamics of different solutes when placed in unique solutions and the effect this has on diffusion rate, osmosis, and membrane permeability.

The word “aquation” used in the title of the experiment represents how one or more molecules of water are incorporated into another division. This could occur with or without one or more atoms added into the group.4 This process takes place in this experiment where 1,10-phenanthroline is considered as the other division. Water molecules are incorporated into1,10-phenanthroline.

This experiment proved that washing your hands with water with a higher temperature is more efficient that washing your hands with cold water.

Osmosis is described as the movement of water molecules (solvent) from high to low concentrations (concentration gradient) via a semipermeable membrane, until equilibrium is established. This movement of water is unquestionably vital in living organisms; for instance, osmoregulation in the human body is what allows homeostasis to take place. Without rigid control over the process of osmosis, cells would die.

These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes. To switch from a solid to a liquid, the solid must melt. On the other hand, to switch from a liquid to a solid, freezing must occur. Furthermore, to switch from a liquid to a gas, a process known as evaporation must take place. In contrast, to

Water is recycled over and over through the water cycle. Water changes in three different stages liquid, solid, and gas. The majority of water goes on to the atmosphere through a task called evaporation. Evaporation turns rivers, oceans, and lakes into water vapor on the atmosphere using the suns energy. Then a tasked called condensation occurs where water vapor rise in the atmosphere and is then cooled, forming tiny water droplets. Then clouds are then formed, which are made up of water droplets. If the water droplets come together they will then become too heavy to stay in the air and which they then become rain, or in other word precipitation. Most of the precipitation that falls then becomes part of the ocean or parts of rivers, lakes,
