(N/A) Evaporation depends upon the following factors:
$(i)$ The surface area of the liquid: Increasing the surface area increases the rate of evaporation.
$(ii)$ The temperature of the liquid: Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of particles,leading to faster evaporation.
$(iii)$ Humidity (dryness of the air): Lower humidity allows for faster evaporation as the air can hold more water vapor.
$(iv)$ Wind speed: Increased wind speed removes water vapor particles from the surface,accelerating evaporation.
$(v)$ Nature of the liquid: Liquids with lower boiling points evaporate more quickly.
$(vi)$ Pressure on the surface: Decreasing atmospheric pressure increases the rate of evaporation.
