Question

Factor effecting the rate of evaporation. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation can be defined as the process through which a liquid (generally water) is converted into a gas/vapour without being heated to its boiling point. The key factors that affect the rate of evaporation of a liquid are:

• Temperature: The greater the temperature of the liquid and its surroundings, the faster the rate of evaporation.
• Surface area occupied by the liquid: Since evaporation is a surface phenomenon, the greater the surface area occupied by the liquid, the quicker it undergoes evaporation.
• Humidity of the surroundings: The greater the humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the water, the slower the rate of evaporation.
• Air circulation or wind speed: The presence of a breeze or another source of air circulation directly contributes towards the rate of evaporation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Factors effecting evaporation

• surface area
• decrease in humidity
• increase in temperature
• speed of wind
• nature of liquid
