Evaporation depends on upon the following factors:(i) Nature of the liquid.\xa0The evaporation depends on the strength of intermolecular forces. The liquids having low intermolecular forces evaporate faster in comparison to the liquids having high intermolecular forces. For example, ether evaporates more quickly than alcohol, and alcohol evaporates more quickly than water. This is because their intermolecular forces of attraction are in the orderEther < Alcohol < Water(ii) Surface area.\xa0Evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Larger the surface area, greater the opportunity of the molecules to escape. Thus, the rate of evaporation increases with an increase of surface area.A rate of evaporation ∝ Surface area(iii) Temperature.\xa0The rate of evaporation increases with\xa0the increase of temperature as the kinetic energy of the molecules increases with the rise in temperature.The rate of evaporation ∝ Temperature(iv) The flow of air current over the surface.\xa0The flow of air helps the molecules to go away from the surface of the liquid and therefore, increases the evaporation.
