Evaporation is the action of molecules escaping the bonds of neighboring molecules. At temperatures above absolute zero, molecules have energy that is expressed in motion. With enough of this motion, water molecules at the surface of water can break the bonds they have with their neighbors. They can escape the liquid and move into the air. When molecules leave the water, there is now less water, which is what we call evaporation.
So if you have a dish that exposes more molecules to an area where they can escape the other molecules (in other words, the surface), obviously more will escape. A wide, flat, shallow container exposes many more water molecules to the surface than the same amount of water in a tall, narrow container.

∙ 13y agoOne of the factors upon which the evaporation depends is surface area.If a shallow pan of large width and a tall narrow pan have the same quantity of water in them and if water is heated then it will evaporate more rapidly from the shallow one.

Why does water not evaporate when it is kept in pre heated pan?
Water is evaporated from the pan.
Does water evaporate faster with lid or no lid?
Less heat will escape with the lid on. As the pressure inside the pan increases, the liquid boils faster - so both aspects combined makes the water to boil faster and save energy. Without a lid, the water won't boil as fast or as quickly, and more energy will be used.
How long does it take a cup of boiling water in a pan to evaporate on the stove?
There are too many variables involved. What is the rate of heat being applied to the pan? How efficient is the heat transfer to the water? How big is the cup, an actual cooking measurement of a cup of one of those massive cups for coffee?
When you Place A Cup Of Sand And A Cup Of Water In The Sun Which One Will Heat Up Faster?
The sand is most likely to heat up faster, particularly if it is dark. The water will have some evaporation, which will keep it cooler. It can also vary by how it is subjected to the sun's heat, like a flat pan or a colored cup, or clear vessel.
What are two ways you could get water that is in a pan to evaporate?
- increase the temperature- decrease the pressure
Does boiling water evaporate faster with or without lid?
Water will evaporate faster with alid on the pan, this is simple rule of kinetic energy

How do you evaporate saltwater?
you put the water in a pan and heat it till the water evapourates

Considering changes of state why does water in a wide flat shallow dish evaporate faster than the same amount of water in a the same amount in a tall narrow vase?
Water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrower glass.

Water at 20c in an uncovered pan is evaporating very slowly. What could be done to the water to make it evaporate more quickly?
heat the fricken pan
What is a safe experiment related on matter?
You can freeze water (solid), heat it in a pan (liquid), and watch it evaporate (gas).
Would water heat up faster in a tin pan or a plastic pan?
Tin pan, because it conducts heat better than a plastic pan.
Can you boil out sugar from water?
Yes, because when a solute is added to water it increases the boiling point. So in order to boil, the solution will have to reach a temperature higher than 100 degrees Celsius. This phenomenon is called boiling point elevation.
