Ans>The Process in which liquid change into vapours below into boiling point is
known as evaporation.
the factors of evaporation are :-
1. Temperature
The rate of evaporation is directly dependent on the temperature it’s exposed to.
The more the temperature, the more liquid it’s exposed to. The kinetic energy
increases and the liquid gets converted to vapor instead. This increases the rate
of evaporation. You must have noticed that clothes dry at a much faster rate during
summers than in winters when the temperatures are higher.
4. Wind Speed
The more the wind blows, the greater is the rate of evaporation. Wind increases the
kinetic energy between the water particles and the rate at which the water gets
evaporated. Take, for example, a windy day better dries your clothes as compared to
a moist day.
5. Intermolecular Attraction
The viscosity of elements or compounds often affects the rate of evaporation. The
molecules of water are loosely bound, while that of hydrogen sulfide is tightly
bound. Hence, the time taken by water to get converted to a gaseous state is
comparatively less than that of hydrogen sulfide.
6. Atmospheric Pressure
It was noticed that places on earth where the atmospheric pressure is lesser, the
process of evaporation is more. The kinetic energy of the particles increased, and
then the change of status was observed. Thus the more the atmospheric pressure, the
lesser is the rate of evaporation.
