Astudent placed equal volumes of honey and of water in two, identical, open dishes, and left them at room temperature for 8 hours. she observed that the amount of water decreased, but the amount of honey seemed unchanged. knowing that honey is a highly concentrated solution of sugar in water, which statement should the student make to explain this phenomenon?
honey has a much lower vapor pressure than pure water has. so, pure water evaporates at a much higher rate.
honey has a much higher vapor pressure than water has. so, water evaporates at a much higher rate.
honey has a much lower freezing point than water has. so, water evaporates at a much higher rate.
honey has no vapor pressure. so, water evaporates at a much higher rate.
