Explain how each of the following affects the vapour pressure of a liquid:
$c)$ temperature

Open in App

Solution

$c)$
Higher temperature increases the vapor pressure, as can be seen on most phase diagrams.
In most cases, the liquid-vapor coexistence curve has a positive slope, so a plot of $ln P v s . \frac{1}{T}$ returns a negative slope on a Clausius-Clapeyron plot.
