The moving air from the hair dryer removes the molecules of liquids as soon as they escape from the surface of your hair. Which factor of evaporation is responsible for the above example?
- A. Temperature
- B. Motion of air
- C. Nature of liquid
- D. Humidity of surrounding
Step-by-step solution
The moving air from the hair dryer increases the rate of evaporation by continuously removing water vapor molecules from the surface, preventing saturation and allowing more molecules to escape. This is directly related to the motion of air factor.
