In general, the dissolution rate is directly proportional to surface area.
This is because the surface area tells you how much solute is exposed to the solvent. The greater the surface area, the more solute molecules that can bind to the solvent molecules, which means more dissolution.

Yes, it is.
There is no direct relationship.
Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
Well, If the surface area is small, say 1 m2 . And the temperature is 1000C You lose only 2% of your heat. But if the surface area is big/largel, say 10 m2 . And the temperature is still 1000C You lose only 20% of your heat. So the bigger your surface area the bigger your heat loss is. Warning: It is a example, the calculation is not correct!
It is that area is measured in square units.
