How do surface area and wind speed affect rate of evaporation ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

With increase in surface area, more molecules of the liquid get opportunity to come to the surface and change into vapours. Similarly, with the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapours present in air move away and the air which replaces it is comparitively dry. This will increase the rate of evaporation.
