Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among, $\text{55}\text{mL}\text{of}\text{water}\text{present}\text{in}\text{a}\text{beaker}\text{with}\text{a}\text{diameter}\text{of}\text{4}\text{.5}\text{cm}$ or $\text{55}\text{mL}\text{of}\text{water}\text{present}\text{in}\text{a}\text{dish}\text{with}\text{a}\text{diameter}\text{of}\text{12}\text{cm}$, which evaporates more quickly is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Evaporation is the process that takes place on the surface of liquids. In this process, liquid state changes into the vapor state. Evaporation is the opposite of condensation process. Surface area is directly related to evaporation. Evaporation will be more if more area is exposed to air.
