Evaporation 蒸发 of Water
2
Factors 因素 Affecting 影响 the Rate 率 of Evaporation of Water
1. Evaporation does not occur at the same 相同 speed 速度 all the time.
2. The rate of evaporation of water is influenced 被影响 by several factors:
(a) temperature of the surroundings 周围
(b) humidity 湿度- when the air humidity is high, the rate of water is low.
(c) movement 移动 of air- when there is moving air, the rate of evaporation of water is high.
(d) surface area of water water - when the exposed surface urea of is large, the rate of evaporation of water is
high.
Hypothesis
The lower the humidity, the higher the rate of
evaporation.
Variables
1. Controlled: Amount of water, surface area of
water, temperature of surroundings,
movement of air
2. Manipulated: Humidity in bell jar Observation
3. Responding: Rate of evaporation of water The water on glass slide A dries faster than the water
on glass slide B.
Procedure
1. Arrange the apparatus as shown in the diagram. Inference
2. Observe the water on the glass slides to see which 1. The air in bell jar A is drier than the air in bell jar
one dries faster. B because anhydrous 无水的 calcium chloride 氯化
钙 absorbs water vapour in bell jar A.
2. Low humidity means there is more space for the
water molecules to escape into the air.
Conclusion
The rate of evaporation increases when humidity is
low. The hypothesis is accepted.

(C) Surrounding temperature
Variables
Manipulated : Surrounding temperature、
Responding : The rate of evaporation of water
Constant: Volume of water, air humidity, movement
of air, exposed surface area of water
Hypothesis
The higher the surrounding temperature, the higher
the rate of evaporation of water.
Procedure
1 The arrangement of the apparatus is prepared as in
Figure 5.7.
2 The cobalt chloride paper that turns blue first is
recorded.
Observation
Cobalt chloride paper B turns to blue faster than cobalt chloride paper A.
Discussion
1 Heat 热 from the lamp dries up the water on cobalt chloride paper B faster, so water evaporates faster
when surrounding temperature is high.
2 Anhydrous cobalt chloride paper becomes blue when it is dry and pink when it is wet.
Conclusion
The higher the surrounding temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation of water. The hypothesis is
accepted.

Dilute 稀, Concentrated 浓缩 and Saturated 饱和 Solutions
Similarities 共同点
• All solutions are clear mixtures (translucent 半透明) and homogenous 均匀 (uniform)
• Mixtures do not separate 分开 when left 留下 to stand
6. There are three types of solution:
Solution Description 描述
Dilute solution
Concentrated solution
A lot of sugar is dissolved in water to form a
concentrated solution. Can still dissolve small
amount of solute
Saturated solution
A saturated solution is formed because no more
sugar can be dissolved in the water. Excess 剩余的
sugar (undssolved solutes) will settle 沉淀 at the
bottom 底部 of the beaker.
Suspension 悬浮液
1 A suspension is a non-homogenous 不同质 mixture that is formed when one or more substances cannot
dissolve in a solvent.
2 A suspension consists of insoluble 不能溶解的 solutes.
3 When it is not stirred 搅拌 or left to stand, insoluble solutes will settle 沉淀 to the bottom of container.容

Solubility 可溶性
1. Solubility is the maximum 最 多 的 amount of the solute in grams that will dissolve in 100 g (ml) of
solvent at a given temperature.
2. At 20°C, the solubility of sodium chloride is 38 g per 100 ml of water. This means a saturated 饱和的
solution is formed when 38 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 ml of water.
3 Factors 因素 that affect 影响 the solubility of solute.
(a) Type of solute
• Different solutes have different solubility in a given solvent.
• For example, at 20°C,sodium chloride is more soluble in water than in potassium nitrate.
(b) Type of solvent
• The solubility of solute differs 不同 in different solvents.
• A solute may have lower solubility in one of solvent but have a higher solubility in another solvent.
• For example, salt dissolves easily in water but difficult to dissolve in alcohol.
(c) Temperature of solvent
• Most solutes dissolve more readily at higher temperature than at lower temperature.
• The solubility of solids in liquid solvents increases at high temperature.
• The solubility of gases in liquid solvents decreases at high temperature.

(a) a mixture of two or more solutes dispersed 分散,散开 evenly 均匀 in a solvent
(b) a mixture that is not clear like a solution
(c) a mixture that does not settle at the bottom of beaker like a suspension when left to stand
