One open container of nail polish remover is left in an air-conditioned room and another identical container is left in a warm room. The rate of evaporation in the air-conditioned room will be: Select one: a. Slower because less thermal energy will produce lower vapor pressure. b. The same as in a non-air conditioned room, because the temperature does not affect the evaporation rate. c. Faster because less thermal energy will result in higher vapor pressure. d. None of these are correct.
