Question
Imagine that a beaker of pure water and another beaker containing water and some NaCl are both boiling under 1 atm pressure. Which of the following statements do you think is correct for this case? Please explain.a) both liquids are at the same temperature, and they have the same vapor pressures,
b) the liquids will be at different temperatures and vapor pressures,
c) the liquids will be at the same temperature, but the vapor pressures will differ,
d)the liquids will be at different temperatures, but the vapor pressures will be the
same.
Explanation / Answer
the liquids will be at the same temperature, but the vapor pressures will differ, because vapor pressure depends on the molar mass alsa
