If a molecular substance has strong intermolecular forces, the molecules at the surface of the liquid are held tightly and vaporize easily than molecules with weaker intermolecular forces. The amount of substance in the vapor phase will be than for molecules with weak intermolecular forces and the vapor pressure will therefore be .

Yasmin's teacher asks her to make a supersaturated saline solution. her teacher tells her that the solubility of the salt is 360 g/l at room temperature (25 °c). how can yasmin make a supersaturated saline solution? she can add 380 g of salt to 1 l of hot water (75 °c) and stir until all the salt dissolves. then, she can carefully cool the solution to room temperature (25 °c). she can add 360 g of salt to 1 l of room temperature water (25 °c) and stir the solution until all the salt dissolves. she can add 380 g of salt to 1 l of cold water (5 °c) and stir the solution until most of the salt dissolves. then, she can carefully heat the solution to room temperature (25 °c). she can add 380 g of salt to 1 l of room temperature water (25 °c) and let the solution sit for 24 hours, so the salt dissolves.
