does not change decreases increases

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Increases

2) decreases

3) increases

4) decreases

Explanation:

When the intermolecular forces in a liquid increases, the greater vapour pressure of the liquid decreases accordingly.

Since the vapour pressure is proportional to temperature, as temperature increases, the vapour pressure increases alongside.

As intermolecular forces increases, the boiling point increases accordingly since more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.

Lastly, the greater the surface area, tell greater the vapour pressure since more liquid surface area is now available.
