Raoult's law

Raoult's law is a law that explains why liquids evaporate. It states that the amount of a liquid that evaporates depends on how much of the liquid could turn into gas. For example, if there is a lot of space above a liquid that could be filled with the gas the liquid would create, more of the liquid will evaporate. So if you have a full container of liquid, less of the liquid will evaporate than if you had an empty container. Raoult's law also explains how the temperature affects how much of the liquid evaporates. The higher the temperature, the more of the liquid will evaporate.
