Look at Fig. 1.3 and suggest in which of the vessels A, B, C or D the rate of evaporation will be the highest? Explain.
(c) The rate of evaporation increases with an increase of surface area because
evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Also, with the increase in air speed, the
particles of water vapour will move away with the air, which will increase the
rate of evaporation.
