One mole of acetone requires less heat

Question:

One mole of acetone requires less heat to vaporise than 1 mol of water. Which of the two liquids has a higher enthalpy of vapourisation?

Solution:

Among the two liquids, water has a higher enthalpy of vapourisation (consuming higher heat energy).

Therefore, ∆Hvapourisation (water) > ∆Hvapourisation (acetone).
