What will be the correct order of vapour pressure of water, acetone and ether at `30.^(@)C`. Given that among these compounds, water has maximum boiling point and ether has minimum boiling point ?

Options

A. `"Water "lt " ether " lt " aceton"`
B. `" Water " lt " acetone " lt " ether"`
C. `" Ether " lt " acetone " lt " water"`
D. `"Acetone " lt " ether " lt " water"`

Answer

B

Explanation

The given compounds are Water, acetone, ether
(Maximum b.p.) (Minimum b.p.)
Greater the boiling point, lower is the vapour pressure of the solvent. Hence, the correct order of vapour pressure will be `"Water "lt " acetone "lt " ether"`.
