Does the color of soda have any effect on evaporation?

Answer 1

Yes Slightly. Light energy converts to heat energy when used, causing water to evaporate. The less light at/in your water the less it will evaporate. If your pool has a lighter pigment,(Color Property) then it is reflecting more light, causing less heat. Darker pigmented pools absorb more light, causing the light energy to convert to heat energy.

Answer 2

I think that the colour would have an effect, namely that a darker-coloured soda would likely evaporate faster due to the increased heat absorption from sunlight. However, there may be other chemicals in the soda that change the heat of vaporization.

Run some experiments to check. Pour equal amounts of same-temperature soda into identical containers and put them into the same area. Monitor the volume.

Answer 3

The color of water does affect the evaporation rate because the red water is more dense then regular clear water.
