Question

On increasing the temperature of the liquid the rate of evaporation :

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. No change
• D. First increases and then decreases.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Increases

Rate of evaporation increases with increase in temperature. This is because with the increase in temperature more number of particles get enough kinetic energy to get into the vapour state (or gaseous state) Example – Clothes dry faster in summers than in winters.
