Liquid X is known to have a lower vapor pressure and lower surface tension than Liquid Y Use these facts to predict the result of each experiment in the table below, if you can.

45.0 mL of Liquid X are put in one sealed 5 L flask, and 45.0 mL of Liquid Y are put in another sealed 5 L flask. The pressure in each flask is then slowly lowered with a vacuum pump
O Eventually both liquids boil, Y first and then X.
O Eventually both liquids boil, X first and then Y.
O Neither liquid will boil
O It's impossible to predict whether eitherliquid boils without more information
