Question
which energy change takes place when gasoline evaporates from a fuel gas can? energy is released. energy becomes transformed. energy is absorbed. energy remains stationary.
Evaporation is an endothermic process. In endothermic processes, a substance absorbs energy from its surroundings to change from a liquid to a gas. When gasoline evaporates from a fuel - gas can, it needs energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the liquid - phase gasoline molecules together. So, energy is absorbed.
