g Consider two different liquids at atmospheric pressure: hexane and water. Hexane has a higher vapor pressure than water. As a result, the temperature at which hexane will boil will be [ Select ] water and its vapor pressure when it is boiling will be [ Select ] water when water is boiling.

Lower than

Higher than

Explanation:

The vapour pressure and boiling point of liquids are inversely related. Thus, the higher the vapour pressure of a liquid, the lower it's boiling point. Lower vapour pressure implies that the liquid is easily converted into vapour phase.

If hexane has a higher vapour pressure than water then its boiling point is lower than that of water and its vapor pressure when it is boiling will be higher than water when water is boiling.

c, liquids evaporate, creating a gas
