There are many factors that will have an effect on the vapor pressure of a solute, but some of the most important ones include: molecular weight, density, and temperature. In order to find out which solute will have the highest vapor pressure that can be achieved at room temperature (25°C), we need to consult our periodic table and look for those properties. The molecular weight is given in atomic mass units; this tells us how much each molecule weighs. The lower the number here, the lighter it is and therefore more likely to evaporate quickly. The density also affects how quickly it evaporates because less dense materials take up more volume than those with higher densities do – so they push off into space faster! an byutes sol given our of any than higher be also must point boiling its means this;C° 25 atousase g% 100 being up endsO₂ H, density high such and weight molecular low such With! other each against fighting all’re they so molecule one in atoms many are there that means which³m/ kg 100 of density a and grams 18 of mass a has molecule This).O₂H ( water be would temperatures room at pressure vapor highest the withute solThe – – – – – . space into escape to molecules for be will it likely more the, is something hotter the because pressure vapor to comes it when factor huge a is temperature, Finally istryChem -: below these like lists for them use do please But. format this in content writing when allowed not bullets oringNumber . propertiesute sol about post blog chemistry:Tags ! today something learned you hope I! pressures vapor highest the of one have would oxygen, Earth on point boiling exceedt’ doesn it as long as that us tells This).highest (culeolem/u am 35 at gas chlorine and), number lowestthe ( molecule per units mass atomic 18 has oxygen that table periodic our from see canWe . be will pressure vapor its lower the, substance a of temperature the higher the because factor large a is temperature, Finally
