Chapter 8, Problem 8.61PAE
8.51 Suppose that three unknown pure substances are liquids at room temperature. You determine that the boiling point of substance A is 53°C, that of substance B is 117°C, and that of substance C is 77°C. Based on this information, rank the three substances in order of their vapor pressures at room temperature.
