Question

What happens to vapour pressure of water if a tablespoon of sugar is added to it?

Open in App

Solution

The vapour pressure of water is lowered if a tablespoon of sugar is added to it. When a non volatile solute is added to a solvent, the vapour pressure of the resulting solution is less than the vapour pressure of pure solvent.
