Question

Equal amounts of water are kept in a cap and in a dish. Which will evaporate faster? why ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area exposed, temperature and amount of vapour already present in the air.

Now when the temperature and amount of vapour already present in the air is constant then the rate solely depends upon the surface area exposed. The larger the surface area would be the more will be the number of water molecules escaping into the air and faster would be the rate of evaporation. Now between cap and dish, the dish has larger surface area and hence the water kept in the dish will evaporate faster.

Answer 2

Answer:

from the dish

Explanation:

because dish have a larger area then the cap.
