How long does a glass of water take to evaporate on windy days?

Specific rates of evaporation can only be measured when one knows the exact measurements of those energies and factors that bear influence upon it: air flow, temperature (of air, container, as well as actual water at time evaporation), concentration of impurities in the water, concentration of substances in the air, actual air pressure (evaporation takes less time in areas of low pressure), the actual surface area and concentration of the water to be evaporated, any known inter-molecular forces, as well as the true density of the water being measured.
All that being said, simple measurements can be made using an instrument called an "atmometer" or "evaporimeter," which can actually be fairly simply made so that a non-complex experiment can be performed to get a general rate of evaporation for your area.
The experiment requires the use of local tap water and porous filter paper, which will be used to draw the water from any measured glass cylinder into which a wick has been carefully placed. The wick can be made of any number of things- paper, cloth, string, and other similar goods that will actually allow the water to be drawn through it. As water evaporates from the surface, it will draw water from the cylinder onto the filter paper through use of the wick by simple capillary action. The more water that evaporates from the filter's surface, the more water will be drawn from the cylinder. By the taking of periodic measurements of the water that remains in the cylinder, and repeating the experiment a number of times, enough so that an average time can be formed, a rate of evaporation can be rather easily established. This rate will only be true for this one area at the time the experiment is performed, but it will give you a general idea of the rates of evaporation in this one specific area

∙ 9y agoThe evaporation rate of a glass of water is dependent upon several factors. These include the amount of water and weather conditions such as humidity, wind conditions, and temperature.

What will happen to the mass and weight of a glass of water left over many days?
It will evaporate and because of the evaporation the glass will get lighter.
Does water still evaporate on cloudy days?
yes, only if its sunny because the energy for evaporation is the sun
How can you separate a solution of sugar and water?
let the water evaporate and there will be sugar. Then let the water condense and there will be the waterFirst actually put the sugar and water together than wait and then the sugar will melt and will stay down at the bottom of the pan. and water will be up !!
How long does it take 200 ml of water to evaporate?
Evaporation depends on the following factors - the temperature of the water at the air-water surface. The humidity of the air. The area of the air-water surface. The temperature of the air.
How does condensation explain the water on the cold glass?
The water comes from the air. Air as it exists under normal conditions in the atmosphere contains some small fraction of water vapor. When the glass is cold the water molecules strike the glass and cool off, becoming liquid.
What will happen to the mass and weight of a glass of water left over many days?
It will evaporate and because of the evaporation the glass will get lighter.
Did water did not evaporate even if the condition are kept the same WHY did the water level in the glass remain the same even if it was left for 3 days?
it is known that water evaporates even a room temperature.If you put water in a glass and set it aside for 3 days the water level decreases but if it is covered the water level remains the same. Does it mean that water did not evaporate even if the conditions are kept the same.
How can you tell if a glass is full of water and salt mixed together?
Just leave it for a few days and the water will evaporate, and if there was salt, you'd see it. Taste it! LOL!!
How many days will it take for water to evaporate?
7 days
Can water evaporate in cold weather in ten days?
Absolutely. Water can evaporate in almost any conditions.
How many days does it take for water to evaporate?
This depends on many factors.
How does Water evaporate from pool on humid days?
if there's sun there is evaporation
Can sugar crystals form in space?
No the sugar has water and the water would evaporate within the ten days
What will happen if you put water near the window?
When you put water near a window after a couple days it will evaporate.
Why does water spilled on a floor evaporate more rapidly than the same amount of water in glass?
Two things, depth and surface area. A puddle is generally shallow and large, meaning there is more area for the sun to heat, which more water can evaporate at a faster rate. A glass of water is small and deep, so the process is slower. Now if you took the same volume of water that was in the glass and poured it onto the floor, the water would evaporate faster.
How long does cold water evaporate under a lamp?
a few days or weeks. It might even take months depending on how hot the lamp is and how much cold water you're trying to evaporate.
How long does it take clorine to evalporate from water?
It takes 5 to 7 days for the chlorine to evaporate
