Maybe I can help you. My experience was with ethanol. It may work with mehanol if it has a distinctive smell like ethanol does. I needed to know how much evaporated off the floor of a room so I could ventilate the room to prevent an explosive condition. I bought a bottle of 100 proof vodka (50% ethanol). I got a stop watch and a graduated cylinder. I carfully measured a specific amount. I found a surface that was the temperature and mass desired to simulate my desired conditions. In my case I used a parking lot surface similar to the highest temperature of the concrete room floor. I pored the ethanol on the parking lot and started my stop watch. Every 10 seconds I put my nose to the wet puddle of ethanol. When I did not smell the ethanol, I stopped the watch. I had my number. There is an equation in some thermodynamics books that uses the vapor pressure, the ambient partial pressure, molecular weight, and temperature to calculate the evaporation rate.

In which biome do the evaporation rates exceed the precipitation rates?
desert - a desert is any area in which the annual rate of evaporation exceeds the rate of precipitation.
Rate of evaporation?
the rate at which a liquid changes to vapour at normal room temperature.
What location will most likely have the highest rate of evaporation?
africa
What compounds are found in methanol?
Methanol is an alcohol and consists of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen its formula is CH3OH
Is methanol a solid?
No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.
What is the rate of evaporation of methanol?
The pressure vapour of methanol at 20 0C is 13,02 kPa.
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
What happens when the rate of evaporation of a liquid as the liquid is cooled?
Rate of evaporation depends on temperature. As Temp decreases, so does the rate of evaporation.
How a warm day affect rate of evaporation?
The rate of evaporation increases
How does temperature affect the rate of evaporation?
The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation. It is
What conditions will increase the rate of evaporation?
Heat speeds up the rate of evaporation.
How does the quality of water affect the rate of evaporation. Should it be considered for determining the rate of evaporation?
if quality of water reduce the evaporation will decrase
What is the normal rate of evaporetion?
The normal rate of evaporation is dependent on many factors. First, every type of molecule has a different rate of evaporation. For example, acetone has an evaporation rate of 3.0 while water has an evaporation rate of 0.3. You can find a complete listing of each molecule's evaporation rate at your local library. You can also find this information in most laboratories as well.
How could you calculate the evaporation rate in a farm based on the humidity and temperature?
(From discussion) From a chemical engineers point of view to calculate it you would need to know the amount of rain that had fallen, the temperature changes throughout the period of evaporation. The mass of water in each kg of topsoil. the surface area of the farm. Then look into whether crops increase the rate of evaporation due to the increase in surface area. The best way to measure the evaporation would be a ground probe that tells you the soil composition that is water.
What in a dynamic equilibrium between the liquid state and the gas state the rate of evaporation is?
the rate of evaporation will be equal to the rate of condensation
The rate of evaporation of a liquid decreases as the temperature decreasestrue or false?
as the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation increases
Will the evaporation rate of gasoline increase if placed under pressure?
No, the rate of evaporation will decrease as pressure is increased.
