Does vapour pressure change with temperature?

Open in App

Solution

Vapour pressure is pressure formed by the vapour of liquid or solid over the surface of a liquid.
With an increase in the temperature of solid and liquid, its vapour pressure also increases, conversely, vapour pressure decreases with a decrease in temperature.
