Acetone evaporates faster than alcohol and water because alcohol and water contain intermolecular hydrogen bonding but acetone does not.

This is the reason alcohol and water have higher boiling point than acetone and evaporate slower than it.

How can you evaporate acetone quickly and keep the residue that is dissolved in the acetone?

Acetone evaporates on its own very quickly and will naturally leave a deposit of residue.æ Do not put acetone in a plastic container use glass, and if you need it to evaporate faster you can, very carefully, heat it slightly.

How do you rerock msm with acetone?

Rerocking MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) with acetone involves dissolving the MSM in acetone to create a saturated solution, then allowing it to evaporate. The acetone will evaporate, leaving behind crystallized MSM. It's important to ensure that the environment is well-ventilated and to handle acetone carefully due to its flammability and potential health risks. Always prioritize safety and proper disposal of solvents.


Does coffee evaporate fast?

Coffee can't evaporate. The only thing that can is water, so all the water in coffee will evaporate. The only thing that will be left is the coffee. So, the left over coffee will be left and so it can't fully evaporate.


What happens to acetone when heated?
