Question
Part A Why do you think ionic liquids have lower vapor pressures than most room-temperature molecular liquids? a) Because ions in ionic liquids have lower kinetic energy than molecules in molecular solvents. b) Because ion-ion interparticle attractive forces are extremely strong relative to the forces operating in most molecular solvents. c) Because ions with like charges in the vapor phase experience strong repulsive forces. d) Because ions in ionic liquids have lower potential energy than molecules in molecular solvents.
Explanation / Answer
b) Because ion-ion interparticle attractive forces are extremely strong relative to the forces operating in most molecular solvents
