What is the effect of increasing the surface area on the rate of evaporation?
The rate of evaporation increases.
The rate of evaporation decreases.
The rate of evaporation remains the same.
The rate of evaporation is unrelated to surface area.
Explanation
Increasing the surface area provides more opportunities for particles to escape into the gaseous phase, increasing the rate of evaporation.
