5.Explain a Few Factors Affecting the Rate of Evaporation.

• Temperature: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in the temperature.
• Wind velocity: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in wind velocity.
• Surface area: Larger the surface area higher is the rate of evaporation.

 

6.Why Are Both Gases and Liquids Called Fluids?

• Gases and liquids are called fluids as they can flow due to weak intermolecular forces between their molecules.
