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.

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.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
