Answer:
a) increases
b) decreases
c) does not change
d) increases
Explanation:
The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;
I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces
II) the temperature of the liquid
Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.
Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.
Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.
