Question

Place the following substances in order of increasing vapor pressure at a given temperature. NF₃ NH₃BCl₃ A) NH₃ < NF₃ < BCl₃ B) NF₃ < NH₃ < BCl₃ C) BCl₃ < NF₃ < NH₃ D) NH₃ < BCl₃ < NF₃ E) BCl₃ < NH₃ < NF₃

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ammonia (NH₃) has strong hydrogen bonding, leading to a lower vapor pressure compared to NF₃ and BCl₃. NF₃ has weaker intermolecular forces than NH₃ but stronger than BCl₃, which has the highest vapor pressure due to its weak van der Waals forces.
