Conclusion

My hypothesis was proved correct, as the nail polish remover evaporated the fastest because it was a thin liquid while the other liquids were thicker. Oil and milk did not evaporate as much as the others did; Coke and whisky also did well. The whisky was evaporating very fast at first but gradually it grew slower because the alcohol in it had evaporated first and the water takes a long time to evaporate. That is why the whisky evaporated slower at the end. The nail polish remover is all alcohol based so it evaporated quickly but after the alcohol had gone at 4 hrs and 27 mins, there was some thicker fluids left that took 5 hrs and 33mins to evaporate off completely.
Application
The Most Commonly known and experienced phenomena of the process of evaporation is the water cycle. Water from land evaporates and finally results in rainfall. Another application is that salt is produced by evaporating sea water. My experiment shows us that you should take care to shut all bottles of household liquids tight, or you just might find you lost your whisky or nail polish remover all gone!!!!!
Discussion
My graphs show a relationship which is that as the time increases the volume of the liquids decreases.

Possible Errors:

Ø Measuring of the liquids.
Ø Due to surface tension some liquids like oil and milk tend to stick to the container they are stored in.

A good aim Daksh. Have you thought about why you want it to evaporate?
