Are vapour pressure and saturation pressure are the same?


Open in App
Solution

The vapor pressure and saturation pressure are the same in the following ways:

  1. The vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors in thermodynamic equilibrium with the condensed phase above the liquid surface.
  2. Saturation pressure is the temperature in which at a given temperature the boiling of liquid takes place.

Therefore, the above points clearly explains the similarity between vapour pressure and saturation pressure.
