While ethanol being an alcohol does have a direct O−H connection. Hence, ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore, more stroger physical bonds have to be destroyed in ethanol, than in acetone. Hence, acetone evaporates faster than ethanol inspite of having higher surface tension.

<h3>What is Vapor pressure ?</h3>

The pressure that a vapour exerts on the condensed phases (solid or liquid) in a closed system when they are in thermodynamic equilibrium with one another is known as vapour pressure (or equilibrium vapour pressure).

  • It is significant to remember that when a liquid boils, the pressure of its vapour equals the atmospheric pressure. For instance, the vapour pressure of water when it boils at sea level is 1 atmosphere because the surrounding pressure is also 1 atmosphere.

State three reasons why an airborne pollutant might be deposited close to its source
den301095 [7]

Explanation:

Air borne pollutants are usually very light particles that are usually carried in the air in the atmosphere. Some of these pollutants can be carried far away and some are found close to their sources.

Some of the factors are:

  • Wind pressure: if wind pressure is low, pollutants will not be carried far away. In this situation, the particles will be blown and carried over a short distance from their sources. When wind pressure is very high, pollutants will be carried extensively into farther areas.
  • Pollutants can be trapped in snow. In a snowy area, when pollutants reach sky high and enters condensed water in the atmosphere, they can become super cooled into ice and fall back within the same area where they are formed.
  • Rain water can also cause pollutants to be dispersed within a short area. Pollutants can mix with rain water and carrier back to the area where they were originally formed.
