Question

What happens when you pour some acetone on your palm?

Answer 1

The palm feels cold if we pour some acetone on it.

Explanation:

1. Acetone being volatile, evaporate very fast when exposed to larger surfaces.
2. When we put some acetone on our palm, it evaporates.
3. During evaporation, particles of the liquid absorb energy from the surface of the palm to compensate for the loss of energy, making the surroundings cool.
4. The acetone takes this latent heat of vaporization from our palm.

The palm loses heat and feels cold.
