Out of the given two compounds, the vapour pressure of B at a particular temperature is
Options
- Ahigher than that of A
- Blower than that of A
- Chigher or lower than A depending on the size of the vessel
- Dsame as that of A
Correct answer
A. higher than that of A
Step-by-step solution
Vapour pressure of o-nitrophenol is more than vapour pressure of p -n i t r o p h e n o l due to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. As a result, it is more volatile.
