Question

Suppose you want to dry your school uniform quickly. Would spreading it near an anghiti or heater help you? If yes, how?

Answer 1

Hint: Heater or Anghiti raises the temperature of the surrounding. The process of vaporization that occurs in the liquid surface which changes it into a gaseous state is known as evaporation.

Complete answer:
Yes, Heater or anghiti would dry up the uniform quickly as it will warm up the surroundings and increase the temperature. As the temperature rises or increases, the water from the wet uniform evaporates quickly. The higher the temperature, the high will be the rate of evaporation which helps to dry the wet uniform.
Evaporation happens when a substance changes from liquid to a gaseous state. When water heats up, the water molecule vibrates so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as water vapor.
The same happens during summers. Since the surrounding temperatures are high, clothes dry faster whereas in the rainy season the air is moist and is saturated. The raindrops are formed when condensation of vapor takes place. This creates less absorption of water vapor from the wet clothes. This takes more time to dry the wet clothes during the rainy and winter season.
So, the answer is Yes, you can dry your wet school uniform quickly by spreading it near an anghiti or heater.

Note:
- Evaporation is influenced by saturation of the surroundings.
- Evaporation happens faster if there is less pressure on the surface.
- A substance having a large surface area will evaporate faster.
- The temperature of the substance: Higher the temperature, the greater will be the energy and faster will be the evaporation rate.
