We have to be aware that the terms in this problem are not in the same category. There are physical and chemical changes and also there are properties.  We look at the one by one and state the simple definition of each and try to match the best possible answer. A) Evaporation is the phase change from liquid to gas.        ▪ Another term that may be used for “gas” is “vapor”.[readmore]ANSWER: This process takes place when a liquid changes to vapor. B) Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor when the vapor is in equilibrium with the liquid.         ▪Looking at the phrases, there is nothing that can be matched with the definition itself.         ▪However, we can see that there is a phrase that relates to the process of how this is measured. ANSWER: This property can be measured by allowing a liquid to evaporate in a closed containerC) Boiling point is the temperature at which liquid changes to gas at a certain pressure.         ▪Now there are many applicable phrases that can be related to this term.         ▪First, as we said this concerns the phase change from liquid to gas (evaporation).         ▪So going in-depth in the evaporation process, the process occurs when atmospheric pressure or external pressure is not strong enough to “fight” the vapor pressure of the liquid such that the liquid particles can escape as vapor.        ▪Now the boiling point is the temperature at which this occurs so one applicable sentence is:ANSWER: This is a temperature at which the liquid vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure on the liquid.        ▪Now another sentence in the answer pool describes what the evaporation process looks like but is really concerned at which temperature this description happens. ANSWER: At this temperature, bubbles of vapor form within a liquid.         ▪Finally, we said from the definition that the boiling point is only specific to a certain pressure so another answer is applicable which is: ANSWER: This temperature is affected by changes in atmospheric pressure.  D) Deposition is the phase change from gas to solid.         ▪A direct definition is already present so we know the answer.ANSWER: This process corresponds to a direct change from the gaseous state to the solid state.E) Decomposition type of chemical reaction in which one reactant yields two or more products.         ▪The keyword here is “chemical reaction”.         ▪We know chemical reactions already concerns the change in the chemical structure of compounds so this change is already called “Intramolecular” which means the changes are within. ANSWER: In this process, intramolecular forces (rather than intermolecular forces) are overcome.
