Question

At a particular temperature.Why vapour pressure of acetone is less than that of ether?

Solution

At a particular temperature vapour pressure of acetone is less than that of ether because intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger in acetone than that in ether. as acetone has hydrogen bonding. Thus intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules of acetone are stronger.
