A graph between vapour pressure and temperature of few liquids is given below. Study the graph and answer the following question.
Which of the following statements is not true?
A
Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapour pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.
B
Boiling point of water can be increased by increasing the pressure above the atmospheric pressure.
C
If liquid B is heated in a closed vessel it will boil at 353 K.
D
Liquid C has higher boiling point than B due to higher intermolecular forces.
Answer
If liquid B is heated in a closed vessel it will boil at 353 K.
Explanation
Solution
: Boiling does not occur when liquid is hearted in a closed vessel.
