Question

Wind, Heat, and large surface area decrease the rate of evaporation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

EVAPORATION: The phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapors at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.

Factors Affecting Evaporation :

• Temperature: With the increase in temperature the rate of evaporation increases.
• Surface Area: Since evaporation is a surface phenomenon, if the surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation increases. So, while putting clothes for drying up we spread them out.
• Wind Speed: With the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapour move away from the wind. So the amount of water vapour decreases in the surroundings.
• Hence, the Given statement is false.
