Step1: Recall boiling - point and vapor - pressure relationship
Substances with lower boiling points have higher vapor pressures at a given temperature. Since Substance A boils at 39 °C and Substance B boils at 64 °C, Substance A has a higher vapor pressure.
Step2: Recall enthalpy of vaporization and boiling - point relationship
A higher enthalpy of vaporization generally means a higher boiling point. Since the enthalpy of vaporization of Substance C is smaller than that of Substance D, Substance D has a higher boiling point.
Step3: Recall vapor - pressure and enthalpy of vaporization relationship
Substances with lower vapor pressures at a given temperature have higher enthalpies of vaporization. Since Substance F has a lower vapor pressure (103 torr) than Substance E (123 torr) at 71 °C, Substance F has a higher enthalpy of vaporization.
