Assume question is about evaporative cooling rate

Ether had vapour pressure of around 0.7 ATM it would be readily evaporate in air. The ether would be a lot colder than water and cause higher cooling rate.

However, if the matter talk about conduction cooling or cooling per unit mass it might be different answer from above.

Water and ether are placed on the palms of both the hands which will cause more cooling ether or water?

Ether has a greater cooling effect than water when smeared on your hands because of its evaporation method. Ether gets its energy from your hands. So when it evaporates, the cooling effect is greater than water.


Is water denser than ether?

Ether is a gas and so the molecules are more spread out, making it less dense than water, whose molecules are so close together that water cannot be compressed.


Is picric acid more soluble in water or ether?

In ether. However the difference is not so significant. The solubility of the commercially sold sample (%100 pure) in water is reported as 1g/65 ml. and in ether as 1g/78 ml. They account for 15.4 g/L water and 12.8 g/L ether. You can check out such properties of materials here:


Why does the water freeze when a beaker of ether is placed over the water?

Because ether is much more volatile than water and evaporates extremely quickly. As ether evaporates very quickly its average kinetic energy is lowered as molecules of ether escape. Following on, the 2nd law of Thermodynamics (I think) states that thermal energy is lost to cooler things so the water cools down extremely quickly as it looses heat to the evaporating ether which is also loosing heat in evaporation. Once the water reaches 0 degrees C it freezes.


What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?

on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.


What makes the sea water cold?

cooling of seawater is caused by the evaporation of surface water which takes latent heat from surrounding water molecules, similar to the effect of sweating. Cooling of seawater is also due to brine acceptance, if the water becomes more saline, it will sink as it is heavier than the surrounding water masses and thus cooling as water which becomes more dense has a lower maximum temperature, and pressure causes water to become colder.


Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?

Naphthalene is more soluble in petroleum ether than in water because naphthalene is nonpolar and petroleum ether is also nonpolar. Like dissolves like, so nonpolar solvents like petroleum ether are better able to dissolve nonpolar solutes like naphthalene. Water is a polar solvent and does not interact well with nonpolar solutes like naphthalene, resulting in low solubility.


Why is dimethyl ether soluble in water but pentane is not?

Dimethyl ether is soluble in water because it is polar, with a dipole moment allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Pentane is nonpolar and lacks the ability to form significant interactions with water molecules, making it insoluble in water.


What causes to be more water?

Global Warming causes there to be more water in the world.If that is what your asking....


Which is more stressful on materials cooling or heating?

Not exactly sure what you mean by "stressful"...Cooling causes an object to contract and heating causes an object to expand. The amount of contraction/expansion depends on the situation.


Is water more polar than methanol?

yes


How humidity affects the water cooling process?

When water can evaporate, the absorption of heat by the vaporizing water adds a significant amount of cooling. When the ambient humidity is already high, less water can evaporate before the air become saturated with water vapor and consequently cooling is more difficult. When ambient humidity is low, more water can evaporate before the air becomes saturated with water vapor - and thus more cooling can occur for the same flow rate of water.
