Question

Which of the following statements is wrong?

• A. Evaporation produces cooling
• B. Rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution increases with increase in humidity.
• C. Solid shows rigid nature
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution increases with increase in humidity.

Rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution decreases with increase in humidity.The moisture present in the atmosphere is called humidity. A dry atmosphere can hold more water molecules than a humid atmosphere. Hence, the rate of evaporation of aqueous solution decreases with the increase of humidity and vice versa.That's why increase in humidity in the atmosphere decreases the rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution.
