Best Answer

Humidity is basically the amount of water vapour in the air. And evaporation is the vaporization of water into water vapour. So when the humidity is high there are already plenty of water molecules in the air so the water which gets vapourized into water vapour takes time to fill the gaps in the atmosphere and thus rate of evaporation is slow.

Do bases tend to decrease the pH of a solution?

No, the bases increase the pH of an aqueous solution.


Why does the rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution decrease with the increase in humidity?

As the humidity increases, the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere (above the solution being evaporated) also increases. This results in more energy being necessary for the liquid water to evaporate, thus the higher the humidity, the longer it will take for evaporation of an aqueous solution to take place. This is essentially based on Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.


Can the concentration of a substance change if it is an aqueous solution?

Yes. An aqueous solution means that at least one solute is dissolved in water. You can increase the concentration by adding more solute, or you can decrease the concentration by adding more water.


What evaporates water from an aqueous solution containing a precipitiate?

Heating contribute to the water evaporation.

How can you increase the solubility of a gaseous solute?

Decrease the temperature, if aqueous. Increase the pressure.


Why the rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution decrease with increase in humidty?

At limes of low humidity fluids evaporate more quickly because they can be easily taken up by the surrounding environment, at 100% humidity evaporation stops, evaporated water can be measured as relative humidity
