No, the vapor pressure of chloroform is higher than that of Water. The normal boiling point of chloroform is at 61 °C and approx. 39 °C lower than that of water.

Why does lowered air pressure allow water to boil at room temperature?
Less force pushes down on the liquid, making it easier for gas to escape
Is chloroform less volatile than water?
yes...
Why do the boiling point of water decrease on climbing up the higher altitude?
Water usually boils at 212F or 100C at sea level. As you go higher up in the atmosphere (higher altitude), the amount of atmosphere pushing down on you decreases, hence the pressure decreases. Water boils when the vapor pressure of the water equals the atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure increases with increasing temperature, so when there is less atmospheric pressure, a smaller vapor pressure is required to get the water boiling, hence a lower boiling temperature.
Which phases of a substance can exist when the pressure is less than the pressure of the triple point?
liquid & vapor
Would chloroform float on water?
The density of chloroform, CHCl3, is 1.483 g/cm3 so it would sink and water would float. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3. The solubility of chloroform is less than 1.0 g/ 100 mL
Compare the vapor pressure of water at 10 C with its vapor pressure at 50 C?
Vapor pressure of water at 10 0C is less than that at 50 0C because, like gas pressure, as temperature rises, the kinetic energy of particles increases, thus increasing pressure. So the pressure of water vapor at 50 0C has more vapor pressure than at 10 0C.
Does air pressure affect water pressure?
Water Vapor affects pressure because moist air contains many heavy gases such as O2,N2 etc. But less water vapor. Since these gases are heavier than water vapor, it becomes more dense constituting more pressure. So Moist air contains less pressure than Dry Air.

Is water vapor more or less dense than dinitrogen under the same conditions of temperature and pressure?
less dense

yes...
How does air pressure affect how much water vapor air can hold?
Warmer air has higher saturation mixing ratios then cold air does. So therefore because of this 100% humidity in cold air is not 100% humidity in warmer air. The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.

Why does water boil at a lower temperature on a mountain than sea level?
The boiling of any liquid is tied in to the atmospheric pressure, in an open system. Every liquid has it's own vapor pressure, that is the balance between the vapor and liquid phase. When atmospheric pressure decreases, the vapor pressure increases since now there is greater space for the molecules of the liquid to come into vapor phase. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lesser, that is, the air is thinner. Thus the liquid can attain higher vapor pressure faster and boil at a lower temperature.
What is humidity and how is it affected by temperature and pressure?
Simply humidity is percentage of moisture in atmosphere or in a gas.When temp. increases pressure reduces, that means gas percentage reduces in unit volume. But due to latent heat of water vapor expansion of vapor is less which results in increase in humidity. And when temp reduces, gaseous volume increases result in less humidity. The above case is for constant water vapor in air. If rain is there humidity increases because of chance of getting to water vapor is more.
Is high pressure moister than low pressure?
High pressure is associated with cool, dense air--which can hold LESS wator vapor than warm air. Low pressure would be "moister" than high pressure--meaning it would carry a higher percentage of water vapor or have a higher relative humidity.
