Question

how does the following affect the rate of vaporisation of liquid ?
a]surface area
b]temperature
c]humidity

Answer 1

First of all these factors affect the rate of evaporation.
a) Surface area
It is directly proportional to the rate of evaporation. More surface area more the rate of evaporation.
b) Temperature
It is also directly proportional to the rate of evaporation. More the temperature more the rate of evaporation.
c) Humidity
It is inversely proportional to the rate of evaporation. The more the humidity the lesser the rate of evaporation.
