What will be the correct order of vapour pressure of water, acetone and ether at 30∘C. Given that among these compounds, water has maximum boiling point and ether has minimum boiling point?
A
Water < Ether < Acetone
B
Water< Acetone < Ether
C
Ether < Acetone < Water
D
Acetone < Ether < Water
Answer
Water< Acetone < Ether
Explanation
Solution
: Higher the boiling point lower will be the vapour pressure. Thus, the correct order of vapour pressure is
< Acetone <
