Question

When the surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. remains same
• D. first decreases and then increases

Answer 1

The correct option is A

increases

1. Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase
2. Evaporation increases when there is an increase in the surface area
3. Because when a large surface area is exposed to air, more molecules will be escaping into the air.

Hence, The correct option is A
