Question

Which of the following does/does not affect the rate of evaporation?

• A. Area of surface
• B. Nature of liquid
• C. presence of moisture
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of these

Explanation:

1. Evaporation: The process of escaping molecules from the surface of the liquid and turning the liquid into vapour.
2. It depends on the temperature, the rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.
3. It depends on the surface area, the rate of evaporation increases with the increase of cross-sectional area.
4. It depends on the nature of the liquid, different substances have different rates of evaporation.
5. It depends on the moisture present in the air, the rate of evaporation decreases with high moisture presence.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
