At 25 C, benzene has a vapor pressure of 12.5 kPa, whereas the vapor pressure of acetic acid is 2.1 kPa. Which one is more volitile? Based on the intermolecular interactions in the two liquids, explain why acetic acid has the lower vapor pressure.

Remember the reason is because benzene's only intramolecular force (beware of the intra intramolecular) is LDS or London Dispersion Force. This attraction between molecules and atoms relies heavily on the mass of the molecule or atom. Acetic acid i believe CH3OOH(aq) or something like that has some lone pairs with contribute to dipole forces and slight polarity.

3. gasoline (specifically octane contained with in the gasoline) 7. phenolphaline 11. any Salt (NaCl) 16. salt 17. rubbing alcohol (eveporates) 12. Sand 13. a 9volt battery 19. anything that floats in water has a density below that # ex. wood 22. water 18. any soap 25. any over the counter antacid (peptobismal....the pink stuff) 42. a Rolaid or Tums they are just calciumbicarbonate 49.

Benzene is an aromatic substance with a closed ring. Acetic acid is aliphatic shortest chain fatty acid. That`s why benzene is more volatile.
