Question

which liquid substance would evaporate most quickly in the open air at 25 ^o c ? explain your answer .

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice B is the correct answer. That will be a liquid at room temperature, and it will evaporate quite quickly. Room temperature is generally considered 20 degrees Celsius. Choice B melts from a solid to a liquid at -5 degrees, so it's a liquid at room temperature as long as the boiling point is higher than 20 degrees.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Acetone.

Acetone is a liquid substance that would evaporate most quickly in the open air at 25° C which is room temperature.

• Acetone comes under the ketone functional group.

• Acetone is commonly known as nail polish remover which quickly evaporates as it is rubbed over our palm giving a feeling of coolness.

• Ketones, alcohols, and aldehydes show volatile nature at room temperature.
• These can be mostly found in products like deodorants, hand sanitizers, nail polish removers spirits, etc which evaporate quickly.
• These substances quickly evaporate from liquid to gaseous or from solid to gaseous at room temperature for their volatility in nature
• when compared between Acetone, ethanol, and water, the liquid which evaporates faster than others is Acetone.

hence, the answer is Acetone.

Acetone is a liquid substance that would evaporate most quickly in the open air at 25° C which is room temperature.
