Question

Define the term 'evaporation.' Describe any five factors affecting rate of evaporation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation can be defined as the spontaneous conversion of water into vapour from the surface of water.

Factors affecting evaporation:

1. Temperature: Directly proportional
2. Wind: Directly proportional
3. Humidity: Inversely proportional
4. Surface area: Directly proportional
5. Material: Greater if material absorbs water less

Answer 2

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process by which liquid is converted into gasoeus state. Ex ➡ Water is evaporated from the sea water and salt is left on the surface which is collected and then purified.

Factors affecting the rate of evaporation -

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Wind speed
• Surface area
• Vapour pressure.
