Is vinegar heavier than water?

no vinegar is heavier


Is vinegar soluble or insoluble in water?

Vinegar is already a mixture containing acetic acid and water. You can mix in more water and you will have a more dilute vinegar. We more often say that two liquids are miscible rather than that one is soluble in the other.


How long does it take for water to evaporate in the sun?

The time it takes for water to evaporate in the sun depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and surface area exposed. In general, a small amount of water can evaporate in a few hours under direct sunlight, while larger bodies of water like lakes or oceans may take days or even weeks to completely evaporate.


Why is water a better fluid for use in a hot pack than ethyl alcohol?

Water has a higher boiling point than ethanol, and so will evaporate more slowly at high temperatures than ethanol. Also, I think water has a higher heat capacity, which means it will stay hot longer.


Can oil evaporate and come down as rain?

Well, it is possible, but for oil to evaporate, it takes a longer time, because it's thicker than water. for oil to come down from the sky like rain, it's possible and it's happening all the time, just that more than 99% of the rain water is made up of water, oil only takes up 1% or less of the rain water due to the slow rate of evaporation. Can oil evaporate? you can find a very good example in your kitchen, on the shelves which is on top of the stove, or the ceiling which is on top of your stove, they will probably feel sticky and will smell of oil. why is that? because while cooking, the oil evaporated under the high temperature and condensed there, so my answer is: yes

How long does it take vinegar to evaporate?

This will depend on how much vinegar you are looking to have evaporate. Vinegar is a mixture of acetic acid and water. Acetic acid will evaporate faster than water at a rate of .97.


Why does water evaporate quicker than water?

The warmer water is, the more quickly it evaporates.


Why does water evaporate quicker than liquid soap?

The enthalpy of vaporization is different.


Why does water evaporate faster than vinegar?

Vinegar evaporates quicker then water because the acid inside of vinegar causes the sun to make the molecules inside the vinegar to boil faster then the water so then the molecules inside the vinegar will break apart faster until the vinegar is completely gone Acetic acid enthalpy of vaporization is lower compared to the same property of water.


Does strip-n-all evaporate quicker than water?

Generally, strip-n-all, which is a paint remover, is designed to evaporate quicker than water. This is because paint removers contain solvents that have a lower boiling point compared to water, allowing them to evaporate more rapidly.


Does cordial evaporate quicker than water?

No, cordial does not evaporate quicker than water. Both cordial and water evaporate at a similar rate since they both contain water as the primary solvent. Factors such as temperature, surface area, and humidity levels will influence the rate of evaporation for both substances.


Does rubbing alcohol or pepsi evaporate?

At RT, rubbing alcohol would evaporate in a quicker time as its boiling point is less than that of water.


Does soda evaporate faster than vinegar?

well no


Can soda evaporate quicker than water because of the gas and bubbles soda has?

I suppose that the difference is minimal.


Will water with salt evaporate faster than water with out salt?

No, it will evaporate slower. When salt or another nonvolatile solute is added to water it raises the boiling point, making it more difficult to evaporate.


What prevents vinegar from evaporating?

Vinegar will evaporate - though perhaps more slowly than plain water. But you must remember, ordinary white vinegar for kitchen use is still 96% water.
