Out of Ether and Carbon Tetrachloride, which is more volatile?

Solution

Ether is more volatile than CCl₄.
Both are non-polar compound. But the molar mass of diethyl ether is quite less than CCl₄ hence very weak Van Der Waal force of attraction in between the molecule and lower boiling point in turn more volatility.
