Answer 1

Answer:

Liquid a has a lower boiling point than liquid  b.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, volatility is associated with three factors:

1. Vapor pressure: this is the pressure exerted by the gas molecules in equilibrium with the liquid. The higher the vapor pressure, the higher the volatility.

2. Intermolecular forces: are the interactions attracting or repelling the material's molecules. The stronger the forces, the lower the volatility as the molecules remain strongly closer.

3. Boiling point: is the condition of both temperature and pressure at which a liquid passes from liquid to gas. The lower the boiling point, the higher the volatility as more molecules easily pass from liquid to gas.

In such a way since liquid a is more volatile than liquid b, the answer is liquid a has a lower boiling point than liquid  b based on the aforesaid factors.

Best regards.

Answer 2
