How does salt water works when evaporating?
Evaporation rate depends on the temperature of the liquid, how tightly the liquid molecules bond to each other, the surface area of the liquid, and the temperature, pressure, and air movements in the surroundings into which evaporation occurs.The warmer the liquid, the faster the evaporation rate. The stronger the molecules bond to each other, the slower the evaporation rate. The larger the exposed surface, the faster the evaporation rate. The colder the surroundings, the faster the evaporation rate. The lower the atmospheric pressure above the liquid, the faster the evaporation rate. The faster the air above the liquid moves, the faster the evaporation rate.The presence of a solute of lower or negligible vaporpressure reduces the vapor pressure and consequently tends to REDUCE the evaporation rate. So, for example, the evaporation rate of water from salt water will be somewhat less than from fresh water (again, other factors being the same).Betlehem Semahge
How does increase in surface area effect rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is sometimes called a surface phenomenon. The molecules on the surface of the liquid tend to suspend themselves in the atmosphere. To change these liquid molecules to gaseous form they require heat energy. They take energy called latent heat from the surrounding particles and thus change themselves to gas molecules. That is why evaporation is called surface phenomenon. As it takes latent heat from the surrounding particles it also causes cooling.
What determines the rate of evaporation?
One factor that affects the rate of evaporation is temperature. Warmer weather means a faster rate of evaporation. The density of the air or humidity in the surrounding air is also a factor. If the air is already humid, evaporation will take longer.
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
Does water evaporate quicker on a bigger surface area?
I believe only surface water, ie water in contact with air, evaporates.Therefore the larger the surface area,the faster the evaporation.......Tony
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
Does the shape effect the evaporation?
Evaporation is faster if the surface exposed to atmosphere is larger.
Why plates will dry faster when placed on rack?
There is greater exposed surface area
Effect of surface area on evaporation?
The larger the area the faster the evaporation.
That a larger volume of liquid will always evaporate faster than a smaller volume?
evaporation speed is determined by temperature, humidity and exposed surface area
Does a larger exposed surface area causes evaporation?
Yes,a larger exposed surface area makes evaporation faster,for eg-: tea kept in a cup cools slowly than tea kept in the saucer because evaporation takes place quicker at the saucer because the saucer has a wider surface area than the cup.So the particles of tea evaporate fast hence cooling down.
Does the type of container affect the evaporation?
Evaporation only happens at the surface. So a wider container that allows for a greater surface to be in contact with air, the faster the evaporation.

In organic chemistry explain why water evaporates faster at a wider and flat surface?
A greater surface area from which evaporation can occur.
Why does Evaporation takes place faster from a plate than from a tumbler?
because there is more surface area
