Question

Explain how temperature affects the rate of evaporation?

Answer 1

1. Evaporation can generally be defined as a process by which a liquid or solid is transformed into vapour.
2. As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation increases.
3. It is because the molecules gain more kinetic energy as the temperature increases and overcome the intermolecular forces to escape.
4. This increases the rate of evaporation.
