i'm sure this is a simple one

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum.  I was wondering, how long would pure glycerine stay in water before evaporating?

First, it is not pure if it is in water.

Second, It may depend on the ratio of water to glycerol. I would think that it would be unlikely that all of the glycerol would evaporate to leave pure water. The water would also be evaporating.

There is no science without fancy, and no art without facts.

Glycerine BP 290 deg C! It is other way around.
