Rubbing alcohol has a much lower boiling point than that of water, allowing less ambient heat to cause it to evaporate. also because of its different molecules in each liquids.

Alcohol.


Why does water evaporate slower than rubbing alcohol?

Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster than water because its molecules are less attracted to each other, allowing them to escape into the air more easily. Water molecules have stronger intermolecular forces, which hold them together in the liquid state and require more energy to break apart and evaporate.


What is the most efficient way of cooling the body?

Use rubbing alcohol; it evaporates much faster than water, thus cooling the body faster. It does, however smell bad and probably shouldn't be used if the person is ill.


Which evaporates faster sugar water or alcohol?

Alcohol evaporates faster than sugar water due to its lower boiling point. Alcohol molecules have weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to escape into the air more easily compared to the larger and more complex sugar molecules in sugar water.

Why does rubbing alcohol evaporate so quickly on your skin?

Rubbing alcohol evaporates so quickly on skin because your skin is pretty warm and rubbing alcohol has a higher vapor pressure (and lower boiling point) compared to water. It is known as a volatile solvent because it evaporates easily.


What does rubbing alcohol do to surface tension?

Rubbing alcohol reduces the surface tension of water by breaking up hydrogen bonds between water molecules. This results in the water spreading out more easily and evaporating faster.
