Solution


(i) Yes, to dry the school uniform quickly, the uniform is spread near an anghiti or heater because evaporation is rapid at a higher temperature. Higher the temperature faster is the rate of evaporation. So the uniform is dried up quickly.

(ii) The cooled water bottle has a very cold exposed surface. Due to the cool surface, there is condensation of water vapour from the air on the surface of the water bottle because water vapour is present in the atmosphere. The condensed water molecules spread around the bottle. So a puddle of water is noticed after some time.
