Say I create a solution consisting of one liter of motor oil dissolved in three liters of acetone, and I leave the solution uncovered and allow it to evaporate.


As the solution evaporates, will the percentages of the solute and solvent remain the same?




The mixture, originally 4L of 25% motor oil, loses acetone by evaporation until you have 1L of 100% motor oil. The % of motor oil increases from 25% to 100% as the acetone evaporates off.
