True or false:
(a) \(CBr_4\) is more volatile than \(CCl_4\).
(b) \(CBr_4\) has a higher boiling point than \(CCl_4\).
(c) \(CBr_4\) has weaker intermolecular forces than \(CCl_4\).
(d) \(CBr_4\) has a higher vapor pressure at the same temperature
than \(CCl_4\).
Step 1 of 4
(a) \(CBr_4\) is more volatile than \(CCl_4\).
The above statement is false.
The polarizability of \(CBr_4\) is greater than \(CCl_4\). It is known that as the greater the polarizability factor, stronger the dispersion forces hence molecules do not easily go to vapor state. Hence \(CBr_4\) is less volatile than \(CCl_4\).
