Water evaporates because its molecules are able to break free from the liquid surface, gaining enough energy to escape into the air as a gas. Oil molecules are larger and have weaker intermolecular forces, so they do not easily break free from the liquid surface to evaporate like water.

What will evaporate faster water in oil or water in a saucer?

Water in a saucer will evaporate faster than water mixed with oil. This is because the surface area of the water exposed to air is greater in a saucer compared to water mixed with oil.
