Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (i) B (ii) C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The vapour pressure of a solution containing two volatile liquids is always intermediate between the vapour pressures of the two pure components at a given temperature. In the graph, curve A represents the liquid with the highest vapour pressure (weakest intermolecular forces),…
