Vapour pressure of astone ,ether are higher than water at same temp.Why
Answers
firstly what is astone!?
secondly, since ether is volatile liquid it easily converts to vapor more than water. Also water has intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to which there is more force of attraction in water than ether and so ether particles easily convert to gas state as ether has less force of attraction.
hope this helps!
Because it has a hydroxyl group, it can form hydrogen bonds with itself. This means its molecules are more strongly attracted to each other than acetone's. Therefore, pure acetone is more volatile than pure ethanol, and at the same temperatures will have a higher vapor pressure than ethanol.The lower the boiling point, the greater the vapour pressure. I.e. the greater the number of molecules in the vapour phase and therefore the greater pressure exerted by the vapour.Boiling point essentially comes down to intermolecular forces. the greater the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point
