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.

Why is it that the larger the surface area the higher the evaporation?
That's because evaporation occurs at the surface.
What surface area is larger baseball or soccer?
A soccer ball has a larger radius than a baseball, so it has more surface area.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
What happens to surface area to volume ratios for larger and larger cubes?
They grow
How does surface area effect heat loss?
the larger the surface area you have, to more heat that you are going to lose.
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
An example of evaporation is faster when the exposed surface of water is large?
When the exposed surface of water is larger the evaporation is faster.
Does the shape effect the evaporation?
Evaporation is faster if the surface exposed to atmosphere is larger.
Why does water evaporate when the water is spread over a larger surface?
The area exposed to evaporation in the atmosphere is larger.
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.
Why is it that the larger the surface area the higher the evaporation?
That's because evaporation occurs at the surface.
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
Effect of surface area on evaporation?
The larger the area the faster the evaporation.
What is size of solute?
It is the amount of surface of a solute that is exposed to the solvent. The smaller the pieces of the solute are, the larger the surface area that is exposed to the solvent.
Why does water cool down quicker in a tray with a larger surface area?
Evaporation.
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering-?
When rocks are larger, the surface area is more exposed making the rate of weathering greater.
