Chlorine evaporates for exactly the same reason that any other substance evaporates. For any individual atom or molecule, if the random thermal motion of that particle takes it in the direction of the surface of the liquid, with sufficient speed to overcome the attraction that the liquid exerts, it will evaporate.

Does tap water have chlorine?
In some areas, water purification plants use first chlorine, to kill bacteria, and then ammonia to neutralize the chlorine. That leaves traces of chloramine in the tap water. This generally considered harmless to humans, but can kill tropical fish, which is why you have to treat tap water before using it for aquariums. However, as a result of the addition of the ammonia, there is no free chlorine in such tap water.Answer: In most places, yes there is trace amounts of chlorine left in tap water (used in the cleaning process) by the time it reaches a house for use.This can either be filtered out at the tap, or simply put the water in a pitcher in the fridge and the chlorine will evaporate within 24 hours. (do not seal the water in a bottle or you will trap the chlorine, use a pitcher with a light fitting lid so there is air transfer)
