To determine the order of evaporation of equal amounts of ether, acetone, and benzene placed in identical petri dishes, we need to consider the intermolecular forces present in each substance. The strength of these forces will influence how easily each liquid can evaporate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Intermolecular Forces**: - **Ether** (e.g., diethyl ether, C2H5OC2H5): Primarily exhibits van der Waals forces (London dispersion forces) and can form weak hydrogen bonds due to the presence of oxygen. - **Acetone** (C3H6O): Exhibits dipole-dipole interactions due to the polar carbonyl (C=O) group and can also form hydrogen bonds, though not as strongly as alcohols. - **Benzene** (C6H6): Exhibits only van der Waals forces as it is a non-polar molecule with a stable ring structure and does not form hydrogen bonds. ...

As a gas (insoluable in liquid) is bubbled throuogh a liquid part of the liquid vapories and these vapours are carried off with the gas. As a sample of dry nitrogen gas is bubble through a liquid, it is found that under identical conditions of temperature and pressure, definite volume of wet nitrogen gas weighs more than the equal volume of dry nitrogen gas. Hence, the liquid through which dry nitrogen gas was passed, may be:
