In still air the rate of evaporation may gradually decrease. What is the main reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A moist layer forms near the water surface

Answer: A. Evaporation is the escape of some liquid molecules into the air. At first, the air immediately above the water may be relatively dry, so many molecules can leave the surface. When the air is still, these molecules are not carried away. A moist boundary layer develops near the water and its humidity rises, reducing the difference in water-vapour concentration between the surface and the air. The evaporation rate therefore gradually falls, especially as the layer approaches saturation. A is correct. B describes moving air, which removes moist air and usually speeds evaporation. C is wrong because evaporation requires latent heat, supplied by the water or surroundings. D is wrong because vapour does not immediately become rain; condensation needs cooling and suitable conditions. Memory cue: still air keeps moisture near the surface; moving air removes it.
