Question

Three liquids are taken in three different types of containers. What is the correct order of the rate of evaporation?

• A. A < B < C
• B. A > C > B
• C. B > C > A
• D. C > A > B

Answer 1

The correct option is C

B > C > A

• The rate of evaporation increases as the surface area increases at the same temperature.
• Evaporation will be faster in container B because the greater the exposed surface area, the greater the evaporation of water and evaporation will be slower in container A because of the lesser surface area.
• So, the correct order of rate of evaporation is B > C > A.

Conclusion: Hence, the correct option is C.
