Solution
1 atmosphere,
Explanation: Vapour pressure or equilibrium vapour pressure or saturated vapour pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapour in thermodynamic equilibrium with the condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature. At 1000C, the vapor pressure of water is 1 atmosphere; i.e. 1000C is the normal boiling point of water.
