Ethane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C2H6. It has a melting point of -297.9 F and a solubility of 56.8 mgL-1. Ethane is a gas at standard temperature and is not soluble in water. Ethanol has the formula C2H5OH and is soluble in organic solvents and water. It has a melting point of -173.4 F. Ethanoic acid is soluble in water but not as soluble as ethanol. It has a melting point of 61.9 F.
Would be considered as an iconic bond.
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.
