How do salt and sugar affect the evaporation of water?
salt is thinner though sugar is thicker and its particles soak up water that's why if you were in the desert if you were to have something sweet it would soak in the water you already have and...
How does salt and sugar affect the evaporation of water?
Both substances will raise the temperature at witch water boils. NaCl will have a large impact per pound as it is ionic in nature and dissociates (splits up) to form two separate particles (ions)....
What effect does sugar and salt have on evaporation of water?
When use of 4oz - 5oz of salt, it speeds up the process of water evaporation in a glass at room temperature with sunlight.
What is the rate of fresh water evaporation compared to salt water?
the same. the salt isn't evaporated, only the h2o, so fresh and salt water evaporate the same unless there is another liquid in one of the two types of water.
Does adding sugar to water affect the rate of evaporation?
Yes, it decreases the evaporation rate. Sugar molecule contains a lot of -OH groups, which can make Hydrogen bonds with water. Since molecular attraction increases the rate of evaporation decreases.
