Explain, in terms of molecules, how the evaporation of a liquid results in a decrease in the temperature of the remaining liquid.
A shallow puddle of water is left on a level pavement after a rain shower. State two changes in the weather that would cause this puddle to evaporate more rapidly.
528 exam-style questions on CIE IGCSE Physics 2.2 Thermal properties and temperature, covering 2.2.1 Thermal expansion of solids, liquids and gases, 2.2.2a Internal energy and temperature, 2.2.2b Specific heat capacity, 2.2.3a Melting, boiling, condensation and solidification, 2.2.3b Evaporation, and 2.2.3c Cooling by evaporation.
