Correct answer: A
-
Key concept: At a given temperature, a liquid with higher vapour pressure is more volatile and therefore has weaker intermolecular forces.
-
Also, the liquid which reaches a given vapour pressure at a lower temperature has weaker intermolecular interactions.
-
From the vapour pressure vs temperature graph:
- Curve X lies above Y at the same temperature, so .
- Therefore, X has weaker intermolecular forces than Y.
- Hence inference (B) is correct and (A) is false.
-
Comparing Z and Y:
- Curve Z lies below Y at the same temperature, so .
- Therefore, Z has stronger intermolecular forces than Y, not lower.
- Hence inference (C) is false.
-
Therefore, the only correct inference is:
-
Matching with options:
- Option A:
- So the correct option is A.
