Why does acetone evapourate faster than water in terms of intermolecular forces
Answers
Answered by

Water has strong hydrogen bonds, acetone has very weak intermolecular forces.

Water has strong hydrogen bonds compared to the weaker London forces and dipole-dipole forces of acetone.Thus means more energy is required to weaken the bonds between the water molecules , resulting in water taking the longest to evaporate.Less energy is required to weaken the bonds between the molecules of acetone resulting in this liquid having a quick rate of evaporation.
