State three factors which affect the rate of evaporation of a liquid.

Three factors which affect the rate of evaporation of a liquid are —

1. The temperature of liquid — If temperature of liquid is high, rate of evaporation is also high.
2. The area of exposed surface — Rate of evaporation increases with increase in the area of exposed surface.
3. The presence of moisture or humidity — Evaporation is faster in dry air than in humid air.
