Experiments have shown that evaporation of liquids depends on the following factors: 1- nature of liquid: some liquids have low boiling point, they evaporate more quickly 2- temperature of liquid: if the surface temperature is high, evaporation rate increases 3 -surface area of liquid: if the surface area of the liquid is increased evaporation rate also increases. read more
