What would be a good hypothesis for does sugar affect water evaporation?

Answer 1

The answer is yes, it does. Dissolved salt in water will lower the solution's vapor pressure according to Henry's Law. Evaporation rate is proportional to the difference in vapor pressure of the solution and the vapor pressure of the bulk gas phase over the water surface. I agree with the above answer as well except that the coldness of the surroundings is not a direct factor in determining the evaporation rate.

Answer 2

salt is thinner though sugar is thicker and its particles soak up water that's why if you were in the desert if you were to have something sweet it would soak in the water you already have and leaving you wanting more

Answer 3

The hypothesis might be that ... dissolving salt or sugar in water will affect the evaporation. This is based on Raoults Law, and the more salt or sugar that is dissolved, the more it will retard the evaporation of the water.

Answer 4

yes,It does little amounts of salt or sugar can make a big differences to water evaporation.

Answer 5

Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature and the effect of solutes is not significant; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation.

Answer 6

Pure water is evaporated faster than water containing solutes.

Answer 7

Water containing solutes is evaporated more slowly.
