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.

Answers (1)

The process of evaporation will be more if the surface area of the water is more.

In the process of evaporation, some water molecules get converted into vapor and remain above the liquid surface. With the help of high-speed air, these molecules of vapor can be taken away. This removal of vapor molecules, causes other water molecules to come out in the form of vapor.

 Hence we can say open container will show more evaporation in the presence of high-speed air.

Therefore, In case C, the rate of evaporation will be maximum.
