What will be the correct order of vapour pressure of water, acetone and ether at 30C30 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { 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 <
