Question

How the nature of the liquid affect evaporation?

Answer 1

Liquid changes into gas
This process is known as evaporation


Nature of a liquid affects tge Rate of Evaporation greatly.. First of all we shoulf know How evaporation occurs.. In evaporation the molecules of the liquid Having High K. E. (kinetic energy) then the Average K. E. Per molecule of the liquid Escape from the surface by escaping from the influence of Intermolecular Forces. Hence, Stronger the inter molecular force More K. E. For the molecule will be required to break the inter molecular forces in order to Evaporate Therefore, Evaporation rate will be slower..

For Example, Rate of Evaporation for Water will be less, due to the presence of strong Hydrogen Bondings, than the Rate of Evaporation of Ethyl Alcohol.
