As we know, evaporation occurs when a liquid molecule has a kinetic energy that is greater than the minimum amount of energy needed to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces holding it in the liquid, allowing it to escape into the vapor phase.
We also know that the pressure of a gas is a measure of the average linear momentum of the moving molecules of a gas.
Does pressure of the gas above the liquid have any impact on the number of liquid molecules escaping into the vapor phase? Is there a gas pressure (linear momentum of gas molecules) high enough that a direct collision of a gas molecule with a liquid molecule would prevent the liquid molecule from vaporizing?
