Do we collect the vapours of the volatile substance in the Victor Meyer's experiment ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Victor Meyer Experiment**: The Victor Meyer experiment is designed to determine the vapor density of organic compounds. It involves heating a volatile liquid and measuring the volume of gas produced. 2. **Nature of Volatile Substances**: In this experiment, the substance being tested is volatile, meaning it easily vaporizes at room temperature or when heated. 3. **Vapor Collection**: The question asks whether we collect the vapors of the volatile substance. In the Victor Meyer experiment, we do not collect the vapors directly. ...
