Kitchen science -
A simple experiment to try at home to determine the rates of evaporation of common solutions
You can also determine the effect of varying amounts of solute on the rate of evaporation. Example: compare rates of evaporation of plain water, water with one, two, and three spoons of sugar. Observe the effect of increasing amounts of solute on the rate of evaporation of solvent (water). Post images of your observations on the general discussion board on Blackboard.
