Question

If there is an increase in temperature, what will be its effect on the rate of evaporation?

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. No effect
• D. Cannot be predicted

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Increases

Correct option explanation:-

(a)Evaporation increases with the increase in temperature as more molecules get kinetic energy to convert into vapours. So, more water molecules will be converted into vapours.

Incorrect option explanation:-

(b) Due to increases in temperature kinetic energy will increase, so evaporation will always increase.

(c) Increase in temperature affect the rate of evaporation and will increase the rate of evaporation.

(d) Rate of evaporation will increase with increasing temperature.

Concluding Statement :- Hence, evaporation increases with the increase in temperature as more molecules get kinetic energy to convert into vapours. So, more water molecules will be converted into vapours.
