Solution
The process of drying the shirt can be made faster in the following ways:
- Spread the shirt to increase the surface area which will increase the rate of evaporation.
- Put it in the sun to increase the temperature to increase the rate of evaporation.
- Keep it under the fan to increase the wind speed which increases the rate of evaporation.

A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
