A tall, skinny glass will freeze water faster than a short, wide glass.

This is because the tall glass allows convection (cold particles in the air to transfer cold to the water particles in the glass) to take place between more particles at once due to a tall glass having a larger surface area.

Wide glass because the water has more surface area to heat up and evaporate.

It really shouldn't make a difference. It is the surface area that is important.

A wide glass exposes a greater surface area, and will evaporate quicker.

Does water evaporate faster in a dark glass or clear glass?

It depends on how much light is shining on the glass. If there is a lot, then the water in the dark glass will evaporate faster because the temperature will be higher. If there is no light, then it does not matter.


Which will evaporate faster a glass of water or a puddle of water?

a puddle of water will evaporate faster because it has a larger surface area that is, it has more of its moleccules in contact with the air Yes, the more air the same amount of water can cover, the faster it will evaporate. In a glass, there is much water that gets tiny amounts of air under the surface and not enough to evaporate. If the same amount of water was poured on a level flat surface (no puddle), it would evaporate very quickly.


Why does the glass of water evaporate when you throw it outside?

the glass of water evaporates because the hot sun heats up the water molecules and makes them move around faster and faster until it gets enough energy to transform itself into gas thus evaporating ............________________.

Is light faster in glass or water?

Water.


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.

Does a glass of water evaporate faster than tequila?

NO Because the vapor pressure of alcohol is greater than water. The higher the V.P. the faster the rate of evaporation


Why does disstilled water evaporate faster than water?

The water on the floor has more area exposed to the air it means glass or walls of container or walls of glass restrict water to expose to air rapidly like water on the floor has more area to evaporate......
