When To Use

What doesĀ evaporable mean?

Evaporable means able to be evaporated—changed from a liquid or solid state into vapor (like fog, mist, or steam).Evaporate, evaporable, and evaporation are typically used in the context of water turning into water vapor. Water evaporates when it changes into steam through boiling, but in scientific terms, evaporation typically refers to the change of a liquid into a vapor at a temperature below the boiling point, such as when water evaporates from the surface of the ocean. In this way, evaporation is an important part of the water cycle.Evaporable water is typically water that is exposed to air and heat.Evaporate can also be used in a figurative way meaning to disappear, and evaporable can also be used in this sense, as in Wealth is evaporable, but your reputation is permanent. Example: For the experiment to work, we have to make sure that the water is evaporable—otherwise it will stay in its liquid state.
