The rate of evaporation depends on temperature, the presence of wind, the humidity of the surrounding, and the surface area of the liquid exposed to the atmosphere. It doesn't depend on the mass of the liquid.

  • The larger the surface area, the more would be the rate of evaporation.
  • The higher the humidity, the slower would be the rate of evaporation.
  • The higher the presence of wind, the faster would be the rate of evaporation.
  • The higher the temperature, the faster would be the rate of evaporation.
