ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
As a student of class XI, I did this project as a part of
my studies entitled “Determination of the rate of
evaporation of different liquids.”

I owe a deep sense of gratitude to my chemistry

teacher whose valuable advice and guidance help me
in doing this project from conception to completion.

At the same time, I can’t forget to express my

thankfulness to Principal for our School for
extending his/her generous patronage and constant
encouragement.

Finally, I am thankful to my parents for helping me

economically and my friends for giving me a helping
hand at every step of the project.

 INTRODUCTION
When a liquid is placed in an open vessel, it
slowly escapes into gaseous phase eventually
leaving the vessel empty. This phenomenon is
known as vaporization or evaporation.
Evaporation of liquids can be explained in the
terms of kinetic molecular model although there
are strong molecular attractive forces which hold
molecules together. The molecules having
sufficient kinetic energy can escape into gaseous
phase. If such molecules happen to come near
the surface in a sample of liquid all the
molecules do not have same kinetic energy.
There is a small fraction of molecules which
have enough kinetic energy to overcome the
attractive forces and escapes into gaseous phase.
 OBJECTIVES

The main objective of this chemistry project

is:

• To study and determine the rate of

evaporation of different liquids

In this project, we are experimenting the

rate of evaporation of acetone, benzene,

and chloroform.
MATERIALS REQUIRED

• Three same size Petri dishes of diameter

10 cm,

• 10 ml. pipettes,

• stop watch

• acetone

• benzene

• chloroform.
 EXPERIMENT
PROCEDURE:
• Clean and dry all Petri dishes and identify
them as A, B and C.
• Pipette out of 10 ml. acetone in Petri dish
"A" with stopper similarly pipette out 10
ml of benzene and chloroform in each of
Petri "B" and "C".
• Remove the cover plates from all Petri
dishes and start the stop watch.
• Let the Petri dishes remain exposed for 10
minute. Now cover each of the Petri dish
and note the volume of remaining
material in them.
Observation: Time: 10 min = 600 sec

RESULTS
¨ Rate of evaporation of Acetone is
0.0133 ml/s.
¨ Rate of evaporation of Benzene is
0.0166 ml/s.
¨ Rate of evaporation of Chloroform is
0.010 ml/s.
 CONCLUSION
The intermolecular forces of acetone, benzene
and chloroform are in order.

Chloroform > Benzene > Acetone
