(a)
Interpretation:
The compound having the higher boiling point is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of a compound is directly proportional to its intermolecular forces of attractions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound having the higher boiling point is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of a compound is directly proportional to its intermolecular forces of attractions.
