Rate of evaporation from a water surface increases if
(i. difference of vapour pressure between water and air is increased
(ii. velocity of wind is decreased
(iii) concentration of soluble solids in water is decreased
The correct answer is
A)(i) and (ii)
B)(i) and (iii)
C)(ii) and (iii)
D)(i). (ii) and (iii)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(i) Increasing the difference in vapor pressure between water and air increases the potential for water molecules to transition from the liquid phase to the vapor phase, enhancing evaporation.(iii) Decreasing the concentration of soluble solids in water reduces the water's boiling point elevation and can increase its vapor pressure, thereby potentially increasing the rate of evaporation.
