image

  1. A higher than that of \(A\)
  2. B lower than that of \(A\)
  3. C higher or lower than \(A\) depending on the size of the vessel
  4. D same as that of \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) higher than that of \(A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vapour pressure of o-nitrophenol is more than vapour pressure of \(\\) p \\(-n i t r o p h e n o l\) due to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. As a result, it is more volatile.
