1. If the liquid have higher V.p at particular temperature, molecules are escaping easily, where the
intermolecular forces between molecules are weak, so, we should not have to supply so much
heat to break them and boil the liquid. So, liquid with higher V.p has lower boiling point.
2. If a liquid has lower V.p, molecules are not escaping easily, strong intermolecular forces, so, we
need to supply much heat. So, liquid with lower V.p has higher boiling point.
Raoult’s Law
Raoult’s law states that, "the partial vapour pressure of each volatile constituent in an ideal mixture is equal to
vapour pressure of pure constituents multiplied by its mole fraction"
