    evaporate at the same rate. The scientist will have water, orange juice, nail polish remover, Coke, a small cooking pot, and a stove. The scientist will boil all of the liquids and measure which liquids evaporated the fastest. The science behind evaporation is when all of the molecules are rapidly in motion. Liquids evaporate due to heat, which makes the molecules in a liquid to move faster. The molecules in a liquid might transfer energy to another molecule. The molecules then, start to move even

  • Exploring The Different Stages Of The Evaporation Process

    574 Words  | 3 Pages

    Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into water vapor. Evaporation happens most often with warmer liquids because in warmer liquids, there are more active molecules than in cold or room temperature water. Evaporation has to do with the energy in the water molecules because they have to release energy from the molecule in order for evaporation. The average temperature for the liquid might be low but evaporation will still take place over time. Heat from the sun or even a lamp can

    rate? Evaporation is one of the well known processes in the water cycle.Evaporation is when liquids become the state of matter “gas”. Evaporation is often found when pressure decreases as energy increases. Heat energy is required in the process of evaporation in some cases. Evaporation is concluded with each and every liquid molecule in liquids of different kinds. Molecules are the second least complex state of life in which are made of atoms. Evaporation is the first step in the

    per day. The other liquids evaporated at very similar rates. These results occurred because the characteristics of each liquid effect the efficiency of evaporation. For evaporation to occur the molecules in the liquid have to build up energy. This energy is built up faster or slower depending on the characteristics of each liquid. Evaporation is when a molecule from a liquid escape and turns into a gas. Nail polish remover evaporated

    632 Words  | 3 Pages

    INTRODUCTION The objective in this experiment is to better understand why liquids evaporate at different rates. In doing so, investigation of the factors that determine the intensity of the intermolecular forces by the rate of evaporation must be obtained in the following seven liquids: methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, water, pentane, and acetone. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules whereas intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule

    how water is treated, and facts about water treatment plants. This virtual trip taught me a variety of information that I didn’t know about the water cycle and water treatment plants. The water cycle has many steps in its process. The steps are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, accumulation, transpiration, and evapotranspiration. Evapotranspiration is when plants pull the ground water up into their stem and then their leaves, and then they release it back into the air. The

    in the water therefore indicating that the water was pure. This can be seen in figure 1 as the water on the left is clear and the water on the right turned white indicating that there was salt present. The amount of seawater present before the evaporation began was 21.34g. After the experiment the amount of salt left over was tested by weighing the evaporating dish with the remaining salt in it then collecting necessary salt for the flame test and washing the dish to weigh again. The weight of the

    What is fractional distillation? Fractional distillation is a method of separating miscible liquids using heat. This technique is used for the separation of liquids which dissolve in each other. Several simple distillations are completed during fractional distillation using only one apparatus. During the process a mixture is separated into several parts called fractions. Mixtures contain different substance with different boiling points, the differences in boiling points is the main reason fractional

    Chapter five taught about the separation of mixtures through a number of different processes. These processes use differences in characteristic properties in the elements of the mixture. For example, fractional distillation uses boiling point to separate liquid mixtures. As the liquid boils, the vapor is redirected through a tube into a different test tube and then condenses. The tube is moved into a different test tube after the first fraction concludes boiling, and then the next fraction can

    Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to separate hexane and toluene from a mixture by collecting fractions of both hexane and toluene through simple distillation. Because hexane and toluene have different boiling points they distill at different times and can be separated easily. We found the refractive index by putting our collected fractions in a refractometer. Once we knew the refractive index we could figure out the percentage of both hexane and toluene in the solution. The first fraction was

    Fractional distillation was performed in this lab to separate a mixture of two miscible liquids with a difference in boiling points of less than 40 C, and to predict their identities. After that, gas chromatography was used to confirm the identities of the two liquids in the unknown solution, and to obtain the ratio of the composition of the solution with respect to these two liquids. Distillation is a separation technique that relies on two substances having different boiling points, so that one
