You are comparing two unknown liquids of similar molecular mass.
You are comparing two unknown liquids of similar molecular mass.
Liquid A has a vapor pressure that is much higher than that of liquid B at the same temperature. Which of the following is the most
Likely explanation for this observation.
A. Liquid B is nonpolar and liquid A is polar, and the stronger intermolecular forces in liquid A give the liquid a
Higher vapor pressure.
B. Liquid B is polar and liquid A in nonpolar, and the stronger intermolecular forces in liquid B give the liquid a lower
Vapor pressure.
C. Both liquids are nonpolar.
D. Both liquids are equally polar.
