The rate of evaporation in an open system is related to the vapor pressure found in a closed system. If a liquid is heated, when the vapor pressure reaches the ambient pressure the liquid will <a href="/wiki/Boiling" title="Boiling">boil</a>. </p><p>The ability for a molecule of a liquid to evaporate is based largely on the amount of <a href="/wiki/Kinetic_energy" title="Kinetic energy">kinetic energy</a> an individual particle may possess. Even at lower temperatures, individual molecules of a liquid can evaporate if they have more than the minimum amount of kinetic energy required for vaporization. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Factors_influencing_the_rate_of_evaporation">Factors influencing the rate of evaporation</h2></div> <p>Note: Air is used here as a common example of the surrounding gas; however, other gases may hold that role. </p> <dl><dt><a href="/wiki/Concentration" title="Concentration">Concentration</a> of the substance evaporating in the air</dt> <dd>If the air already has a high concentration of the substance evaporating, then the given substance will evaporate more slowly.</dd> <dt>Flow rate of air</dt> <dd>This is in part related to the concentration points above. If "fresh" air (i.e., air which is neither already saturated with the substance nor with other substances) is moving over the substance all the time, then the concentration of the substance in the air is less likely to go up with time, thus encouraging faster evaporation.
