JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 8th January Morning Slot - No. 2)

A graph of vapour pressure and temperature for three different liquids X, Y, and Z is shown below : JEE Main 2020 (Online) 8th January Morning Slot Chemistry - Solutions Question 105 English The following inferences are made :
(A) X has higher intermolecular interactions compared to Y.
(B) X has lower intermolecular interactions compared to Y.
(C) Z has lower intermolecular interactions compared to Y.
The correct inference (s) is / are :
(B)
(A)
(C)
(A) and (C)

Explanation

Vapour pressure of a liquid at a given temperature is inversely proportional to intermolecular force of attraction. At the same temperature, vapour pressure of X is higher than that of Y.

Therefore (X) has lower intermolecular interactions compared to Y. Statement (B) is correct.
