The correct answer for this question is option 3, which states that the rate of evaporation of liquid does not depend upon its mass. Let`s dissect each option to better understand why this is the correct answer.

Option 1: Temperature. The rate of evaporation is directly influenced by temperature. When the temperature of a liquid increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, leading to faster movement and more collisions with the liquid`s surface. This increased kinetic energy overcomes the intermolecular forces, allowing more particles to escape from the liquid and evaporate.

Option 2: Surface area exposed to the atmosphere. The rate of evaporation is directly proportional to the surface area exposed to the atmosphere. A larger surface area provides more opportunities for liquid particles to escape and evaporate.

Option 3: Mass. The mass of a liquid does not affect the rate of evaporation. Whether the liquid has a small or large mass, it will still evaporate at the same rate if all other factors remain constant. The number of particles available for evaporation is determined by the amount of liquid present, not its mass.

Option 4: Humidity. Humidity, which is the amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere, can affect the rate of evaporation. When the
