What is the amount of ethanol in grams that evaporates per second from
an open, nonagitated container of 40C ethanol with a surface area of 1
square meter at 40C air temperature?

Hi k25-ga,

Please let us know if you require more information or evaluation of
the equations cited by hardtofindbooks-ga for the values you provided.

I believe all the necessary formulae and constants to calculate this
can be found at http://www.cheresources.com/flammable.pdf

This answer can not be completed. The dimensions of the room are
needed. As well as the humidity. Is the air circulated or exhauseted.
These are needed becuase the humidity determins the evap rate. As well
as the exo process of the ethanol moving from the container to the
air..as the air fills with ethanol the rate at which the evaporation
occurs will change...
