Solution

The correct option is C

70°C


Vapour pressure,

  • Vapour pressure also known as vapour equilibrium pressure, can be defined as the pressure exerted (in a system featuring thermodynamic equilibrium) by a vapour with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) in a closed system at a given temperature.
  • The following graph interprets the vapour pressure of four liquids as:

  • When we start at 30kPa on the vertical axis and then draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis until we reach the vapour pressure curve for water.
  • Then drop a line vertically to the temperature axis. It meets the axis at 70°C
  • Thus, the vapour pressure of water is 30kPa at70°C.
