Question

An increase in temperature decreases the rate of evaporation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapours is called evaporation.
On heating, particles in the matter gain energy. Due to additional heat energy, the particles start moving by overcoming the force of attraction between the particles. Thus, particles can escape out of the liquid and convert into the gaseous state.
Hence, as we increase the temperature rate of evaporation also increases.
