Water molecules have polar characteristics. They have strong intermolecular bonds, namely, hydrogen bonds. But the only intermolecular force present between petrol molecules is London forces which is relatively very weak than hydrogen bonding.
What else can I help you with?
How does petrol evaporate faster than water?
It is more volatile than water.
Is petrol more volatile than diesel?
yes
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.
Which catches fire more quickly petrol or diesel?
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
Is water heavier than petrol?
Yes, water is denser and heavier than petrol. One liter of water weighs about 1 kilogram, while one liter of petrol weighs approximately 0.75 kilograms.
Why is methanol less volatile than petrol?
At a basic chemical level, methanol is less reactive than petrol due to polarity. Just like water tends to hold together in droplets, methanol, being an alcohol, has polar molecules which hold the substance together. Petrol, on the other hand, is nonpolar, and doesn't have that force holding it together.
Is petrol a gas?
Petrol is a volatile liquid. The vapours mixed with oxygen are highly combustible.
Oak wood floats in water and not in petrol?
because the density of oak wood is less than the water and greater than the petrol.
Does water float on petrol?
Yes - Oil is lighter than water. Petrol, or gasoline, floats on water because it is lighter that water.
Why petrol is a volatile liquid?
because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
Why evaporation of petrol is fast?
Petrol or gasoline is made from the lighter parts of crude oil, and is simply more volatile than kerosene or diesel, because the molecules are smaller. In some countries including the US, the grade of gas is varied winter to summer, to make it volatile enough in cold weather and not too volatile in hot.
Why does Gasolinel evaporate faster than water because it is more what than water?
Volatile?
