Why does the vapor pressure of a liquid increases as temperature increases? a) The average kinetic energy of molecules is greater; thus more molecules can enter the gaseous state. b) The number of gas molecules above the liquid remains constant but they have greater average kinetic energy. c) The faster moving molecules in the liquid exert a greater pressure. d) The intermolecular forces between the molecules becomes less at higher temperatures.

8.45 Describe how interactions between molecules affect the vapor pressure of a liquid.
If you've ever opened a bottle of rubbing alcohol or other solvent on a warm day, you may have heard a little “whoosh” as the vapor that had built up above the liquid escapes. Describe on a microscopic basis how a vapor pressure builds up in a closed container above a liquid. What processes in the container give rise to this phenomenon?
What feature characterizes the dynamic equilibrium between a liquid and its vapor in a closed container?
Dichloromethane, CH2Cl2,is widely used as a degreaser and paint stripper. Its vapor pressure is 381.0 mm Hg at 21.9C and 465.8 mm Hg at 26.90C. Estimate (a) its heat of vaporization (Hvap). (b) its normal boiling point.
8.48 Why must the vapor pressure of a substance be measured only after dynamic equilibrium is established?
Consider the following data for the vapor pressure of diethyl ether, a widely used anesthetic in the early days of surgery. Follow the instructions in Question 13 to estimate the heat of vaporization of diethyl ether.
Explain why evaporation leads to cooling of the liquid.
What is U when 1.00 mol of liquid water vaporizes at 100C? The heat of vaporization, Hvap, of water at 100C is 40.66 kJ/mol.
Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, was once used as a dry cleaning solvent, but is no longer used because it is carcinogenic. At 57.8 C, the vapor pressure of CCl4 is 54.0 kPa, and its enthalpy of vaporization is 33.05 kJ/mol. Use this information to estimate the normal boiling point for CC14.
