Consider a Stefan Tube whose height is 1.68 dm and whose dimeter 

Consider a Stefan Tube whose height is 1.68 dm and whose dimeter is 0.21 dm. We perform two separate experiments with it. The sole distinction between the two experiments is the liquid which is used in the Stefan Tube: In one case, it is methanol, and in one case, it is ethanol. Both experiments are performed at ambient conditions, and in both cases, the initial amount of alcohol which is put in the Stefan Tube corresponds with 1.00 cm. Predict how much tiee does it take for the complete evaporation of each alcohol. Provide some explanation for why does methanol evaporate faster than ethanol (connect your explanation with their molecular nature).
