(N/A) The time taken for complete evaporation of a liquid depends on the following three factors:
$1$. The nature of the liquid: Different liquids have different rates of evaporation at a constant temperature. For example,liquids like ether,acetone,and petrol evaporate faster than water.
$2$. Amount of liquid: At a constant temperature,the time required for complete evaporation is directly proportional to the amount of liquid. For instance,$10 \ mL$ of water takes more time to evaporate completely than $5 \ mL$ of water.
$3$. Temperature: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature. Therefore,at a constant pressure of $1 \ \text{atm}$,a given amount of liquid will evaporate in less time at a higher temperature.
