3 attempts left Check my work If all other factors are kept constant, identify howeach change will affect the rate of evaporation. (a) Temperature Increasing the temperature of the liquid will select the rate of evaporation. (b) Surface area By placing a liquid into a container that expos a greater surface area of the liquid to air, the rate of evaporation will selecto (c) Intermolecular forces A liquid with a select intermolecular force implies a high vapor pressure and will have a rate of evaporation. (select References eBook & Resources

Explanation / Answer

a] Increase

With an increase in temperature, a direct increase in kinetic energy at the surface of the liquid takes place. The molecules in the liquid begin to move faster, colliding with one another at an increasing rate until some of the molecules escape into the atmosphere as water vapor.

b]

Increases

The surface area affects evaporation because if more area is exposed to air, allowing water molecules acquire more heat energy from the surroundings. Due to the increased heat energy (kinetic energy), there is more rapid movement of the water molecules which helps them to overcome the force of attraction andevaporate

c]

Weak intermolecular forces and high rate of evaporation
