How does surface area affect the evaporation rate of water?
The bigger the surface area of water the more evaporation will take place.
Is air temperature or water temperature more important to evaporation?
Air Temperature, because the surface of the water is the only thing that needs to be heated so the warmer the air temperature, the faster the air can heat the surface of the water the faster evaporation will be able to occur,
Does water evaporate faster from a body of water witha bigger surface area?
Yes.
Does water evaporate faster from a body of water with a bigger surface area?
the answer is small glad to help -_- (:
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.
Why is an umbrella opened to dry?
When the umbrella is opened its surface is now bigger than if it was closed. If the surface is bigger, the water evaporation will occur faster.
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 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

Does the color of water affect its evaporation if so what do you need?
While water its self doesn't come in different colors things like the color of the container or surface it is on and any dyes in the water would affect the rate of evaporation. Water on a black surface would evaporate faster than one on a white surface. likewise if you were to dye the water black the dye would absorb more energy and heat the water faster resulting in faster evaporation.
Why water evaporate faster in a china dish as compared to test tube?
Evaporation is a process that occurs only at the surface of a liquid. If the same volume of liquid is put in a dish rather than a test tube then the liquid will have a bigger surface area allowing more room for evaporation.
Does evaporation of water happen at the surface?
Evaporation occur at the surface of water.
In organic chemistry explain why water evaporates faster at a wider and flat surface?
A greater surface area from which evaporation can occur.
Does water evaporate faster from a body of water witha bigger surface area?
Yes.
Does clean water evaporate faster then dirty water?
yes it does. The evaporation rate of water is dependent on the number of molecules that can be presented to the evaporating surface. Anything in the water besides water will decrease this density and slow the process of evaporation.
