The vapor pressure of a liquid is a measure of how much vapor of a liquid sits in the air above the liquid in a closed container. So, for example, a steam room has a very high vapor pressure of water. Do you think a substance that has weaker forces between molecules would in general have a greater or lesser vapor pressure than a substance with stronger forces between the molecules? For example, compare isopropyl alcohol and water.

Respuesta :

Answer: When the isopropyl alcohol was boiled, it quickly boiled away. The water ALSO boiled away, but the alcohol was quicker. Isopropyl alcohol had a high vapor pressure because it boiled away very fast, and isopropyl alcohol had strong forces between its molecules (seen with the surface tension experiment.) The water boiled away slower, and had weaker forces between its molecules. So, the stronger the forces, the higher the vapor pressure
