What are volatile and non volatile liquids? Substantiate with examples.

Answers (1)

A volatile substance is one that evaporates or sublimates at room temperature or below. Volatile substances have higher vapor pressures versus non-volatile substances at the same temperature. Examples of volatile substances include alcohol, mercury, and gasoline.

A non-volatile substance refers to a substance that does not readily evaporate into a gas under existing conditions. Non-volatile substances exhibit a low vapor pressure and a high boiling point. Sugar and salt are examples of non-volatile solutes.
