Answer to Question #182248 in General Chemistry for Homos

Question

How will you describe the operational properties of liquid with the emphasis on the effects of intermolecular forces on its properties? Is it rejected or accepted? Describe your results.

Answer 1

As the intermolecular attraction increases, • The vapor pressure ( the pressure of the vapor that is in equilibrium with its liquid) decreases • The boiling point ( the temperature at which the vapor pressure becomes equal to the pressure exerted on the surface of the liquid) increases .
