Question

1.
What is the effect of intermolecular forces on vapor pressure?
• Relatively strong force will increase vapor pressure
• Relatively strong force will decrease vapor pressure
• Relatively weak force will decrease vapor pressure
• Relatively weak force does not have any effect on vapor pressure​

Answer 1

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by a gas above a liquid in a sealed container. Strong intermolecular forces produce a lower rate of evaporation and a lower vapor pressure. Weak intermolecular forces produce a higher rate of evaporation and a higher vapor pressure
