Solution

The phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapours at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation. It is a surface phenomena i.e. it takes place from the surface only. China dish have a greater surface area than the test tube. So, the rate of evaporation would be higher in it. (2 marks)
