Question: Do All Liquids Evaporate At The Same Rate?

Summary: The process of evaporation is when liquids are turned from their liquid form into their gas form. This usually happens over time and elements can effect the speed at which it occurs namely, heat, wind, movement. In this experiment we are going to evaluate the speed at which 4 different liquids evaporate to see if they're all the same, all different, or a mix of different and the same.

Materials Needed: 

(Any of The Materials Highlighted in Blue are Clickable Links for Purchasing)

4 Beakers with Measure Lines

Rubbing Alcohol

Water

Orange Juice

Nail Polish Remover

Pen and Paper for Notes

Project Procedure:

1. Pour 80ML of each liquid into its own beaker. Make sure to keep track of which liquid is in which beaker by either labeling the beakers, or placing markers near them.

2. Set the beakers in a dry location at room temperature.

3. Monitor the levels of the liquids for 1 week and note any differences.

4. Which liquid evaporated the most? Which liquid evaporated the least? Did they all evaporate the same amount?
