Evaporation Experiment Report

The experiment investigates how temperature, surface area, wind, and humidity affect the rate of evaporation using four bowls with varying conditions. Results indicate that increased surface area, higher temperatures, and airflow enhance evaporation rates, while higher humidity reduces it. These findings have practical applications in everyday situations such as drying clothes and preserving liquids.

Experiment Report

Factors Affecting the Rate of Evaporation

Objective
To observe how different factors—temperature, surface area, wind, and humidity—affect
the rate of evaporation.

Materials Required
• 4 identical bowls
• Water
• Table fan
• Stopwatch or clock
• Ruler/scale
• Tissue paper (for humidity variation)
• Labels and marker

Procedure
1. Set up 4 bowls with the same amount of water (~100 mL each):
- Bowl A: Use a wide, shallow bowl (Surface Area).
- Bowl B: Place under sunlight or a warm spot (Temperature).
- Bowl C: Place under a fan (Air Movement).
- Bowl D: Place in a closed container with wet tissue (Humidity).
2. Label the bowls A to D.
3. Start timing and measure the amount of water left every 30 minutes or 1 hour.
4. Record and compare observations.

Analysis
• Surface Area: Greater exposed area increases evaporation.
• Temperature: Higher temperature gives more energy to particles.
• Air Movement: Airflow removes water vapor from the surface.
• Humidity: High humidity slows evaporation due to less difference in vapor pressure.

Conclusion
The experiment shows that evaporation is influenced by surface area, temperature, airflow,
and humidity. Higher surface area, heat, and airflow increase the rate, while humidity slows
it. This is useful in everyday scenarios like drying clothes or preserving liquids.
