PROCEDURE:

1. Clean and dry all Petri dishes and mark


them as A, B and C.

2.Pipette out 10 mol of diethyl ether in


each of the Petri dishes A, B and C and
cover them immediately.

3.Uncover all three Petri dishes and start


the stop watch.

4.Note the remaining volume after 10 min


vaporization of diethyl ether from each
Petri dish.

RESU
LT
The order of evaporation of acetone in
three petri dishes as: -
7.5 > 5.0 > 2.5 cm

CON
CLUS
It will be observed that maximum

ION
evaporation occurs in Petridis with largest
diameter followed by small and smaller
Petridis.

It is therefore concluded that the rate of


evaporation increases with increase in
surface area.
