Name the factors on which evaporation depends
Answers
Answer:
Evaporation is the process in which a liquid state of matter (water) is converted into a gaseous state of matter (vapor).
Examples of evaporation:
Crystallization
Drying of clothes
Following are the factors that affect the evaporation:
Temperature: As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation also increases. Temperature and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other
Surface area: As the surface area increases, the rate of evaporation increases. The surface area and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other.
Humidity: The rate of evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity. Humidity and the rate of evaporation are inversely proportional to each other.
Wind speed: Increase in wind speed results in increased evaporation. Wind speed and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other.
