Question 128

A puddle of water is evaporating at room temperature. Which statement correctly describes the effect of this evaporation on the remaining water?

A

The average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules increases, causing the temperature of the water to rise.

B

The average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules decreases, causing the temperature of the water to fall.

C

The average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules remains constant, but the temperature of the water falls due to heat loss to the surroundings.

D

The average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules decreases, but the temperature of the water remains constant because evaporation is an isothermal process.
