    Out of the compounds below the vapour pressure of at a particular temperature is

    A) higher than that of

    B) lower than that of

    C) higher or lower than, depending on the size of the vessel

    D) same as that of 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In para-nitro phenol intermolecular (between two molecules) H-bonding exists while in  ortho- nitro phenol, intramolecular H-bonding exists. Because of the presence of intramolecular H-bonding, the boiling point of  is lower as compared to  and thus,  is more volatile, ie, has higher vapour pressure as compared to .
