Question

The rate of evaporation depends only on the surface area exposed to the atmosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

no the rate of evaporation not only depends upon surface area but also on many other factors:

Explanation:

temperature

surface area

humidity

wind speed

Answer 2

Answer :-

No, It not only depends on the surface area.

Evaporation:- The conversion of liquid in to water vapour at the surface of water is known as evaporation.

It is a surface phenomenon.

It occurs at room temperature.

The evaporation depends on following factors:-

• Temperature→ Evaporation increases with increase in temperature because the kinetic energy of molecules becomes faster and overcome force of attraction.

• Speed of wind → More the speed of wind more the rate of evaporation.

• Humidity → Humidity is the water vapour present in air.It decreases rate of evaporation.

• Surface area → Evaporation will be faster when surface area is increased.
