Is petrol more volatile than diesel?
yes
What is the most volatile gas?
Someliquidshavetendencyto to get turned intovapor form at normal room temperature and pressure.Our cloths became dry due to escape of water molecules in air. Hot and dry air make water more volatile. Gasoline (petrol)is volatile as it rapidly turn into vapor andkerosene is not. Alcohol is also volatile. In high altitude, due to less atmospheric pressure all these becomes more volatile. Higher the boiling point, less volatile the substance is.
What is the shape of a volatile liquid?
The shape of a volatile liquid, or any other liquid, will be that of a fixed volume that takes on the shape of its container.
Why can you smell petrol at a petrol station?

Does petrol or spirit evaporate faster?
Petrol evaporates faster than water at room temperature. this is because the boiling point of petrol is 95oC and water's boiling point is 100oC. As the boiling point of water is higher than that of petrol, petrol evaporates faster as it achieves its boiling point before water does.
