Which of the following statements is true about the vapor pressures of methane (CH₄) and ammonia (NH₃)? A) The vapor pressure of ammonia is less than the vapor pressure of methane because ammonia is nonpolar and methane is polar. B) The vapor pressure of ammonia is greater than the vapor pressure of methane because ammonia is polar and methane is nonpolar. C) The vapor pressure of methane is greater than the vapor pressure of methane because methane has more hydrogen bonding than ammonia. D) The vapor pressure of ammonia is equal to the vapor pressure of methane. E) None of these statements is true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ammonia (NH3) is polar and can form hydrogen bonds, leading to a lower vapor pressure compared to methane (CH4), which is nonpolar and cannot form hydrogen bonds. However, none of the statements accurately describe these properties or their effects on vapor pressure, making all provided options incorrect.
