Kelvin Oconnor · Answer 1

Answer: 0.050M urea, 0.10M glucose, 0.2M sucrose, pure water

Explanation:

Vapor pressure refers to the ease with which a liquid substance is transformed into vapour. High vapour density implies that the liquid is easily transformed into gas. Pure water is expected to have the lowest vapour density since it is held by strong intermolecular forces in the liquid state. Urea is an organic liquid held by weak Van der Waals forces hence its extremely high vapor pressure.
