Question

.Define evaporation. List factors on which the rate of evaporation depends and explain how it depends on each of them

Answer 1

Evaporation is a process in which liquid state changes into gaseous state .

Evaporation takes place due to the following factors -:

TEMPERATURE
SURFACE
QUANTITY
HUMIDITY
KIND OF SUBSTANCE
WIND SPEED

Answer 2

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gaseous phase before reaching its boiling point. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance. When the molecules of the liquid collide, they transfer energy to each other based on how they collide. When a molecule near the surface absorbs enough energy to overcome the vapor pressure, it will "escape" and enter the surrounding air as a gas. When evaporation occurs, the energy removed from the vaporized liquid will reduce the temperature of the liquid, resulting in evaporative cooling.
What types of factors affect the rate of evaporation?

Temperature: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.

Surface area: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area.

Humidity: The amount of water vapour present in the air is called humidity. ...

Wind speed: Evaporation increases with an increase in wind speed.
