Question

Which of the following will evaporate slower, sugar solution or plain water?

• A. Plain water
• B. Sugar solution
• C. Not enough data

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Sugar solution

Sugar solution

The sugar solution molecules would require more latent heat as compared to plain water molecules. The time necessary for such heavier molecules to absorb enough latent heat and get into gaseous state is definitely higher than plain water molecules.
