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.

∙ 10y agoIn the case of water evaporation depends largely on the humidity in the air over the water which means that if humidity is very low and you have a breeze to move the evaporated water away from the water you will get quick evaporation. That is the water is trying to spread into its surroundings because there is less water there. Imagine dropping a drop of food coloring in a container of water the colour will spread until its evenly distributed. In the case of acetone the pressure to spread is even greater than water as there is less acetone in the air and acetone is lighter and thinner.

What happens to acetone molecules when you add heat to a breaker of liquid acetone?
Acetone molecules evaporate when you add heat to a beaker of liquid acetone.
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.
Why is acetone cooler than water?
It is not cooler, it feels cooler because acetone is far more volatile than water, so it absorbs more heat from your skin when you feel it evaporating from the skin (using it as nail polish remover)
What drink will evaporate fastest?
well exactly what drikns do you want to evaporate and then i could tell you the answer
Why does isopropyl alcohol evaporate fast?
Because it is a volatile liquid.
What happens when you pore acetone on your palm and why?
Acetone is a volatile substance so it will evaporate. It will absorb heat from your palm and quickly convert from liquid to gas
What happens to acetone molecules when you add heat to a breaker of liquid acetone?
Acetone molecules evaporate when you add heat to a beaker of liquid acetone.

What will happen to a 5 drops of acetone in a beaker?
It will evaporate
How do you get acetone off your sink?
Acetone can be wiped off most surfaces with a paper towel. Any remaining acetone will evaporate. Acetone can be harmful to breathe, so you should ensure that the room is well ventilate. Open all windows to clear the fumes.
Does acetone in glue evaporate completely to a harmless level?
Yes it does.
Why did water dried up first than acetone and alcohol?
water has a lower vapor pressure than alcohol or acetone, so it requires more heat energy to cause it to evaporate.
Why does your plam feel cool when you put some acetone on it?
Because the acetone takes some of the heat from your hand and uses it to evaporate.
What happens to acetone when heated?
Acetone will either evaporate or ignite (catch fire) when heated. At room temperature it evaporates quickly but will do so when hot. When exposed to very high temperatures it will catch fire.
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 state of matter would acetone be in at 42 degrees C?
At 84°C it would be a vapor because its higher then 56.2°C and the acetone will evaporate
What evaporates faster water or nail polish?
At standard temperature and pressure in a normal atmosphere, acetone will evaporate faster than water. Evaporation rates of various liquids are frequently specified relative to the evaporation rate of butyl acetate at 20 C. By that measurement, the evaporation rate of acetone is 5.6 and the evaporation rate of water is 0.3.
