Out of the compounds below the vapour pressure of (B) at a particular temperature is

Options

  1. Ahigher than that of (A)
  2. Blower than that of (A)
  3. Chigher or lower than (A), depending on the size of the vessel
  4. Dsame as that of (A)

Correct answer

A. higher than that of (A)

Step-by-step solution

In (A) para-nitro phenol intermolecular (between two molecules) H-bonding exists while in (B) ortho- nitro phenol, intramolecular H-bonding exists. Because of the presence of intramolecular H-bonding, the boiling point of (B) is lower as compared to (A) and thus, (B) is more volatile, ie, has higher vapour pressure as compared to (A).
