Question

Predict whether the process of evaporation increases/decreases with the following factor: decrease in humidity ________

Answer 1

1. The amount of water vapour present in the air is termed as humidity.
2. As the air around us can hold a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature, if there is already a large amount of vapour in the air, the rate of evaporation will automatically decrease.

Hence, the rate of evaporation increases with a decrease in humidity.
