What happens to the rate of evaporation when a liquid is kept in the test tube and the same liquid in the china dish?

Open in App

Solution

Evaporation is a process in which a liquid transforms into a gas or vapor, and water evaporation increases as temperature and surface area rise.
On increasing the surface area, the number of molecules in contact at the surface of liquid increases, and evaporation takes place rapidly.
Thus, in the china dish rate of evaporation will be more than the rate of evaporation in the test tube.
