Question

Consider 55 ml of water (h2o) in a beaker and 55 ml of acetone [(ch3)2co] in an identical beaker under identical conditions. complete the sentences to explain the relationship between the vapor pressure of water and acetone. match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. helpreset larger than at the same rate as more slowly than the same as weaker water will evaporate more quickly than acetone. the vapor pressure of acetone is smaller than than that of water at the same temperature. this is because the intermolecular forces between acetone molecules are stronger than those between water molecules.

Answer 1

The correct sentence is this:
THE VAPOUR PRESSURE OF ACETONE IS SMALLER THAT THAT OF WATER AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE.
Acetone will evaporate more quickly that water when exposed, this is because, its vapour pressure is smaller than that of water. The vapour pressure of water is greater, thus, at the same temperature and pressure, it will take less pressure to vapourize acetone.
