Because it is highly volatile
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Patrol (also known as petroleum ether) evaporates at room temperature because it has a low boiling point. The molecules in patrol have weak intermolecular forces, which allows them to easily escape from the liquid phase and enter the gas phase at room temperature. This rapid evaporation is why patrol is highly volatile and can be dangerous if not handled properly.

What is methanols physical state at room temp?
Methanol has a melting point of -97° C, or -143° F, and a boiling point of 65° C, or 148° F. With room temperature at 20° C (68° F), methanol is a liquid. However, with it's relatively low boiling, it evaporates quickly at room temperature.
Does temperature affect how fast water evaporates?
