Consider the following list of liquids and their boiling points: ether, bp = 35°c acetone, bp = 56°c cyclohexane, bp = 80°c water, bp = 100°c which liquid is predicted to have the largest vapor pressure near room temperature (25° c)? a. acetone b. ether c. cyclohexane d. cannot tell with the information given e. water

Ether

Explanation:

NB: The boiling point of the liquids given are referred to as their normal boiling point i.e the boiling point at atmospheric pressure.

The relationship between normal Boiling point and vapor pressure is that; at a given temperature the lower the normal boiling point, the higher the vapor pressure.

hence ether with the least normal boiling point of 35°C is expected to have the largest vapor pressure near room temperature.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
