Hypothesis: How will molecular size affect the rate of evaporation and how will this correlate
Simora [160]

A molecular size affects the rate of evaporation when the larger the intermolecular forces in a compound, the slower the evaporation rate and this correlates with temperature change.

Molecular size seems to have an effect on evaporation rates in that the larger a molecule gets or grows from a base chemical formula, its evaporation rate will get slower.

<h3>What is the molecular size?</h3>

This is a measure of the area a molecule occupies in three-dimensional space as this relates to the physical size of an individual molecule.

Hence, we can see that a molecular size affects the rate of evaporation the larger the forces, the lower the rate.

Which of the following is NOT a method of transferring heat?
Eva8 [605]
The answer is Reduction. All three methods (convection, radiation, and conduction) are all ways of transferring heat. Convection is the transfer of heat by means of a medium such as air. Conduction is the transfer of heat from the contact of two surfaces at different temperatures. Radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves.

Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gain of electrons. It is the opposite of oxidation which involves the loss of electrons.
