Which is correct about heat transfer? A)Only steam boilers evaporate water B)Still water surfaces do not evaporate C)Water must be heated to at least 60^oC to cause evaporation D)Evaporation heat transfer is proportional to the partial pressure of the surrounding air E)Vaporise and evaporate have different meanings

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaporation heat transfer is proportional to the partial pressure of the surrounding air. This is known as Dalton's law of partial pressures. The other statements are incorrect - steam boilers are not the only things that evaporate water, still water surfaces do evaporate, water can evaporate at temperatures below 60°C, and vaporize and evaporate have similar meanings.
