Abstract
-law when the vapor pressure depression was considered by using the concentration estimate at each time, as obtained from the experimental results. In addition, it was observed that the time when the salt completely precipitated could be estimated by using the extended theory. These findings provide physical and practical insights into the droplet evaporation mid-air for potential lab-in-a-drop applications.
