The vapour pressure of the water depends upon?


Open in App
Solution

Vapour Pressure

  • The pressure a vapour with its condensed phases exerts in a closed system at a specific temperature is known as vapour pressure.
  • The force a vapour applies to a liquid surface is referred to as vapour pressure.

Relationship between vapour pressure and temperature:

  • At greater temperatures, the liquid's molecules have more energy. Consequently, when the liquid's temperature rises, so does its vapour pressure.
  • The vapour pressure of water increases with the increase in temperature

Hence, The vapour pressure of water depends on temperature.
