experiment, finding the mass of the liquid with the same volume for each liquid will find out the
density of each liquid.
A factor that highly affects evaporation is temperature. If the temperature can be measurable, it
should be measured using a fundamental unit. Since a thermometer uses either Fahrenheit or
Celsius (which are derived units) to record the temperature, these two formulas will help in
converting these values into the fundamental unit of temperature, Kelvin. Two formulas are
provided because to find Kelvin we need to know the value in Celsius and to do that we first
need to convert Fahrenheit into Celsius then into Kelvin. The formula shows:
F32
C=
1.8
K=+ 273

In this experiment, the three liquids that will be tested are water, coffee, and tea. These were the
liquids chosen for conducting the experiment because they have different density than each other.
After testing them, we will find out which liquid will evaporate first.
Hypothesis:
The higher the level of density, the longer it takes for the liquid to evaporate.
This hypothesis is based on how the bigger the density, the harder it is to evaporate. This is
because the liquid that has higher density will take much more effort to perform kinetic energy
and because it is dense it requires much more heat in order for it to evaporate.

Safety Precautions
Cautiously handle the tea and coffee, they may be at high temperatures. Do not let skin be in
contact with high temperature.
