CLASS-9-MA1 CHEMISTRY

Hypothesis: Do all liquids Evaporate at the same rate?

Perform an activity to compare the rate of evaporation of some commonly

available solvents

Activity 1: Comparing rate of evaporation at room temp

Take all the different solvents (10 ml) in graduated cups/measuring tubes and place
them in an open space. Compare the decrease in the level of solvent by 1 mm/cm .

Record your observations by clicking pictures and adding them to the activity sheet

WATER 40mm 37mm 33mm 31mm 28mm
ACETONE(Nail 40mm 12mm 6mm 4mm 2mm
polish remover)

Cooking oil 40mm 39mm 37mm 36mm 35mm

Fruit juice(any 1 40mm 36mm 32mm 30mm 27mm
of your choice)

Compare the result to drive your conclusion on the basis of:

a. Which solvent has highest/lowest rate of evaporation at
room temperature
The highest rate of evaporation is that of acetone

The lowest rate of evaporation is that of cooking oil

b. Predict/Explain the cause of difference in rate of
evaporation
Each Material has a different temperature at which it evaporates

c. List any 03 factors which affect the rate of

evaporation.Use pictures (google) to explain your answer
Three Factors that affect the rate of evaporation are:
Temperature
Relative humidity
Wind-Speed
