Liquid Evaporation

CSEF · 2018 Chemistry

Isabel Salazar · Loudon (Roy W.) Elementary, Bakersfield, Kern County

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of this study is to learn which liquid between orange juice, water, nail polish remover, and rubbing alcohol would evaporate the quickest. Methods/Materials 4 measuring cups, nail polish remover, orange juice, water, and rubbing alcohol. Tested the speed of evaporation of various liquids. Results The speed of evaporation of various liquids was tested over a 1 week period. The liquid with acetone proved to evaporate the quickest due to it's weaker intermolecular force. Conclusions/Discussion It is concluded that the liquid with a weaker intermolecular force will evaporate faster compared to liquids with stronger intermolecular force due to the strength of the bonded molecules.

Summary statement

Measured the amount of time it took for various liquids with different intermolecular forces to evaporate.

Help received

I conducted the experiment on my own. I recieved help from my mother and sister in the construction of my project board.
