Chloroform has a normal boiling point of 61.7oC. Which of the following is true?

at any temperature the vapor pressure of chloroform is less then that of water.
chloroform is more volatile then water
both statements are true
both statements are false

Answer:
If Chloroform boils at 61.7C, then it also depends on the molecular-structure of Chloroform. Most likely it will have a low vapor pressure. CHCl3(Chloroform) has a greater mass than that of water. It isn't more soluble than water(volatile). Both statements are false :) If you heat up CHCl3 at a temperature above 67, then it would have a greater vapor pressure than water because it is closing in on the gas phase.
1 False. The b.p. of water is 100degC. So the vapor pressure of chloroform is greater than that of water at any temperature.
2 True. By the same reasoning.
Both statements are true
