The evaporation of liquid water from the surface of earth is an important step in the water cycle. how do water molecules obtain enough kinetic energy to escape into the gas state?

The water molecules obtain enough kinetic energy by getting heat from the sun to make it into a gas state.

A) the enthralling of formation for pure element in its standard state is always positivehope this : )

Ithink this is what you meant. the temperature at which a liquid begins to boil is called the boiling point. the boiling point of water is 212°f or 100°c.  and at that point will start to turn into steam (gas)
