Does gasoline evaporate?
Of course it does.
Theoretically you can convict every substance into every state of aggregation as far as it is possible to generate the necessary pressure and temperature.
Gasoline is a mixture of organic compounds with boiling points from 100°C to 180°C.
Organic compounds and of course gasoline evaporate at low temperatures compared to another substances. For instance metals and salts have extreme high boiling points over 2000°C.
But indeed you can smell gasoline at the petrol station, when you're fueling your car, because the molecules of the liquid phase are exchanging with the gasiform phase. A little bit of every liquid evaporates at normal temperature.
yeah
The answer upside is totally right, really great
