Chapter 11, Problem 22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason of the statement that is heat of vaporization of water greater at room than at its boiling point is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The vapor pressure is inversely related to the boiling point. The vapor pressure of compounds relies upon molecular motion and intermolecular forces present in the compounds. The intermolecular forces are the forces that exist in between the two or more atoms in a compound.

To determine:. The reason of heat of vaporization of water is greater at room temperature than its boiling point.
