How do the following factors affect the rate of evaporation of a liquid?
$(a)$ Surface area
$(b)$ Temperature
$(c)$ Humidity

(N/A) Surface area: As the surface area increases,more particles are exposed to the surface,leading to a higher rate of evaporation.
$(b)$ Temperature: With an increase in temperature,the kinetic energy of the liquid particles increases,allowing more particles to escape into the vapor state,thus increasing the rate of evaporation.
$(c)$ Humidity: Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. As humidity increases,the air becomes saturated,which decreases the rate of evaporation.
