Question

An increase in the temperature of a liquid decreases the rate of evaporation, true or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The increase in the temperature of a liquid also increases the rate of evaporation, as the same for the other way around.  As intermolecular force increase rate of evaporation decreases. This happens because intermolecular force make it less likely for the molecules on the surface to escape from liquid and become vapour gas. As temperature increases rate of evaporation increases.
