Why does ethanol (CH3CH2OH) have a higher vapor presure than water at 60
°C?
A
Ethanol has stronger intermolecular forces
between molecules than water (because it's a
bigger molecule and therefore has higher
London dispersion forces)
B
Ethanol has weaker intermolecular forces
between molecules than water.
C
Ethanol is nonpolar, while water is polar.
Ethanol boils below this temperature.
Less molecules can escape the liquid phase
E in ethanol because they have a lower kinetic
energy than the molecules in water.
