Questions

  1. 1.

    Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between intermolecular forces and the equilibrium vapor pressure of a pure liquid at a constant temperature?

    • A) Liquids with stronger intermolecular forces exhibit a higher vapor pressure because cohesive interactions accelerate the rate of surface vaporization.
    • B) Liquids with weaker intermolecular forces exhibit a lower vapor pressure because particles require more kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.
    • C) Liquids with stronger intermolecular forces exhibit a lower vapor pressure because fewer molecules possess sufficient energy to overcome attractive interactions.
    • D) Equilibrium vapor pressure depends strictly on the total volume of liquid present rather than the strength of intermolecular forces.
