12 Is evaporation an exothermic or endothermic process? Explain.
13.When we supply heat energy to water , particles start moving even faster . At a certain temperature , a point
is reached when the particles have enough energy to break free from the forces of attraction of each other . At this
temperature the liquid starts changing into gas . The temperature at which a liquid starts boiling at the
atmospheric pressure is known as its boiling point . Boiling is a bulk phenomenon . Particles from the bulk of the
liquid gain enough energy to change to its vapour state .
Based on your understanding of the above passage , tick the correct option in the following questions .
The boiling point of a liquid is :
a) directly proportional to atmospheric pressure
b) inversely proportional to atmospheric pressure
c) independent of atmospheric pressure

a)
b)
c)
d)
