Which one of the following statements is not correct?
The rate of evaporation depends on temperature
The rate of evaporation does not depend on surface area exposed to the atmosphere but on volume of the liquid
The rate of evaporation depends on humidity of the surroundings
The rate of evaporation depends on the wind speed
FACTORS AFFECTING EVAPORATION The rate of evaporation increases with–
• An increase of surface area: We know that evaporation is a surface phenomenon. If the surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation increases. For example, while putting clothes for drying up we spread them out.
• An increase of temperature: With the increase of temperature, more number of particles get enough kinetic energy to go into the vapour state.
• A decrease in humidity: Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in air. The air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount of water in air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases.
• An increase in wind speed: It is a common observation that clothes dry faster on a windy day. With the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapour move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapour in the surrounding.
