Liquid Sample A has a higher vapor pressure than liquid Sample B (both in closed containers). What can be said about Sample A compared with Sample B?a. The liquid in Sample A vaporizes more easily than in Sample B.b. The molecules in Sample A have less kinetic energy than in Sample B.c. The liquid molecules in Sample A have greater intermolecular forces than in Sample B.d. If Samples A and B are the same liquid, Sample A is at a lower temperature than Sample B.

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid.

More is the vapor pressure of a substance more will be the kinetic energy present within the molecules of a substance. As a result, weaker will be the intermolecular forces present within a substance.

Hence, more readily the substance will change into vapor state. As in the given situation liquid sample A has a higher vapor pressure than liquid sample B. So, liquid sample A will vaporize readily.

Thus, we can conclude it can be said about Sample A compared with Sample B that the liquid in Sample A vaporizes more easily than in Sample B.
