The rate at which a container of water cools depends on the surface area of the water exposed to the open air because the more water is exposed, the faster its molecules will cool.

How is surface area important?

Surface area affects several things, such as how quickly an object cools down; the rate of chemical reactions will also depend on the exposed area.


Why does dew form on a cold soft drink can?

Condensation forms on any cold container because heat is transferred from water vapour in the air near the container to it, which warms the container and cools the vapour. The vapour turns back to liquid and condenses on the container surface.


Is there an mineral precipitate from boiled water when the water cools?

I boil tap water in three gallon stainless steel container and each time the water cools a fair amount of white mineral precipitates - Ca + Mg - collecting on the interior surface of the container, also a fai amount freely precipitates and collects at the bottom of the container. I have drank the water for years.

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 magma always reach the Earth's surface?

no sometimes it cools under earth's surface. that is called intrusive igneous rocks. when it reaches earth's surface and cools its called extrusive igneous rocks.
