If one liquid has a higher volatility than another, and both liquids are at the same
temperature, the liquid with the higher volatility will likely

a)create a lower pressure in a closed container
b)evaporate more quickly from an open container
c)have a higher surface tension
d)show more resistance to being poured from a container

Option B is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Define volatility

In chemistry, the term volatility, is a way to describe how readily a substance  transitions from a liquid phase to a gas phase, also called evaporating.

At a given temperature and pressure, a substance with high volatility is more likely to evaporate more quickly , while a substance with a lower volatility is more likely to be a liquid or solid, so not to evaporate or slower.

The higher the volatility, the higher the (vapor) pressure of a compound. Increasing temperature means the vapor pressure will also increase,

Step 2: In this case:

⇒ Option A is false because the pressure will be higher when volatility is higher.

⇒ Option B is correct because higher volatility means evaporating more quickly

⇒ Option C is false because higher volatility means higher pressure. When pressure increases, the surface tension decreases.

⇒ Option D is false because when the volatility is higher, the liquid/gas escape the container, easier, so there will be less resistance.
