How does liquid turn into gas? (Question for my sister)

If you were to take water (like many other materials) and break it up into almost the smallest things you could, you’d get molecules. If the molecules are stuck together really tightly in a regular pattern, then they’re called a solid. The solid form of water is ice. This actually makes a lot of sense, because it certainly does seem like all the little parts of a solid (like ice) are stuck together very tightly.

When you heat something up, it makes the molecules move faster. If you heat up a typical solid, it melts and becomes a liquid. In a liquid (like water), the molecules are still stuck together, but they can move around some. What actually happens is that the molecules are still sort of sticking together, but they’re constantly breaking apart and sticking to different molecules. This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily.

If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called "evaporation." The opposite process is called "condensation."

Rom4ik [11]
<span>Chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced by ALL of the following EXCEPT: </span><span><span>c) size of reactant particles d) pressure of the system.

</span>Reason:
1) As per Arrhenius theory, rate of chemical reactions is influence by temperature. Mathematically it is expressed as: k = A exp(-Ea/RT)
</span>where, k = rate constant, A = collision frequency, Ea = activation energy, T = temp. From above relation, it can be seen that, chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced temperature.

2) Also, if know that, rates of chemical reactions is mathematically expressed as: Rate = [A]^{x} B^{y}....,
where A, B, .. are the reactants.
From above relation, it can be seen that, chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced concentration i.e. number of particle. 

3) However, since all the reactant and catalyst used (if any) is in liquid state, particle size of same  will not influence the reaction.

4) Also, since there are no gas-phase reactant, pressure will not affect the reaction.
