What is evaporation? What are the factors affecting it? - Quora
Answer:
(1)Temperature (2)Surface area (3) Humidity (4)Wind speed (5)Pressure
Explanation:
(1) Temperature
with the increase in temperature the rate of evaporation increases
on increasing of temperature more number of particles get enough K.E. to go,into the vapour state.
(2)Surface area
since avaporation is a surface phenomena.If the surface area is increased,the rate of evaporation increases.So,while putting clothes for drying up we spread them out.
(3)Humidity in air.
Humidity is amount of water-vapour present in air.
When humidity of air is low,the rate of avaporation is high and water evaporates more readily.
When of sir is high, the rate of evaporation is low and water evaporates very slowly.
(4)Wind speed.
with the increase in wind speed , the particles of water-vapour move away with the wind.
So the amount of water vapour decreases in the surrounding
(5)Pressure.
The rate of evaporation can also increase with a decrease in the gas pressure around a liquid.Molecules like to move from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure.The molecules are basically sucked into the surrounding area to evenout the pressure.Once the vapour pressure of the area increases to a specific level,the rate of evaporation will slow down
