Open in App
Solution

Vapour pressure:

  1. The pressure a vapour with its condensed phases exerts in a closed system at a specific temperature is known as vapour pressure.
  2. Evaporation relies on a variety of variables.
  3. Weak intermolecular forces exist in liquids.
  4. The vapour pressure of the liquid can be raised by heating the liquid's molecules, which can help turn them into vapour.
  5. At a certain temperature, acetone and benzene, for instance, have higher vapour pressure than water.
  6. With an increase in the liquid's temperature, the vapour pressure rises. At greater temperatures, the liquid's molecules have more energy.
