Question

The greater the area of the exposed surface, the faster is the rate of evaporation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Evaporation: The process of escaping molecules from the surface of the liquid at any temperature.
2. Evaporation depends on the nature of substance, temperature, vapour present in the atmosphere, and surface area.
3. In the larger surface area, a large number of molecules escape from the surface.
4. The rate of evaporation increases with a large surface area.

Hence, the given statement is true.
