Factors affecting evaporation : Rate of evaporation depends on :
(a) Exposed surface area : On increasing surface area of liquid, rate of evaporation increases.
(b) Increase in temperature : Increases kinetic energy of particles hence rate of evaporation increases.
(c) Humidity : When the humidity of air (degree of dampness of air) is low, evaporation rate is increased. More humidity, less evaporation.
(d) Wind : When wind speed increases, rate of evaporation also increases
