Question

Name and explain the process associated with the following;

a. Acetone bottle is left open and the bottle turns empty.

b. Dry ice is kept under room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

c. Water droplets inside through lid of a hot container.

Answer 1

a. Because evaporation takes place much faster in the case of acetone (evaporation)

b.  The process is sublimation because when dry ice (solid CO2) is kept at room temperature at one atmospheric pressure, it sublimes leaving no residue. (sublimation)

c. The outside of the lid is cooler than the water vapor in the inside. (evaporation)
