Evaporation is sometimes called a surface phenomenon. The molecules on the surface of the liquid tend to suspend themselves in the atmosphere. To change these liquid molecules to gaseous form they require heat energy. They take energy called latent heat from the surrounding particles and thus change themselves to gas molecules. That is why evaporation is called surface phenomenon. As it takes latent heat from the surrounding particles it also causes cooling.

which the conditiondo the following will increase the rate of evaporation in water?
-temperature -surface area -vapour pressure
If you increase the surface area of water then the evaporation rate will do what?
Increase also.
Can you explain this question to me... The rate of evaporation from the surface of a lake would be increased by?
an increase in the surface area of the lake
Volume of water and evaporation rate?
Volume has no effect on evaporation rates. It is surface area that provides a time dependent variation.
Why rate of evaporation of liquid increases with increasing wind speed?
the rate of evaporation increases when a breeze or flow of air is present. If you refer to water transpiration, you can see that a breeze blowing over the surface of a plant's leaves increases the rate of evaporation of the water exiting the stoma.
Effect of surface area on evaporation?
The larger the area the faster the evaporation.
which the conditiondo the following will increase the rate of evaporation in water?
-temperature -surface area -vapour pressure
If you increase the surface area of water then the evaporation rate will do what?
Increase also.
What effect does surface area have on evaporation?
The greater the surface area, the greater the rate of evaporation under identical atmospheric conditions.
What are the factors effecting evaporation?
Factors effecting evaporation are- 1.Surface area of Evaporation 2.Decrease in humidity 3.Increase in temperature 4.Increase in wind Speed
Does the shape or size of a container effect the rate of evaporation?
Yes, as long as the mentioned shapes and sizes contribute to the Surface Area available for evaporation to take place. Increased surface area leads to an increased rate of evaporation.
What 3 things effect evaporation and condensation?
The three things which effect evaporation and condensation are: 1. Surface Area 2. Humidity 3. Temperature of surroundings
Why do you use an evaporating basin to get salt from seawater instead of a beaker?
to increase the surface area of evaporation
What are the 3 ways to speed up evaporation?
Probably temperature, increase surface area and wind
Can you explain this question to me... The rate of evaporation from the surface of a lake would be increased by?
an increase in the surface area of the lake
Three factors that effect the rate of evaporation?
Wind Surface area Temperature Relative humidity
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
