which statement explains the relationship between the temperature and vapor pressure of a liquid? (1 point)
○ the higher the temperature, the less molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.
○ the higher the temperature, the less molecules will vaporize, resulting in a lower vapor pressure.
○ the higher the temperature, the more molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.
○ the higher the temperature, the more molecules will vaporize, resulting in a lower vapor pressure.

Explanation:

Temperature increases the kinetic energy of liquid molecules. More molecules gain enough energy to escape (vaporize) into the gas phase, increasing the number of gas molecules above the liquid. This leads to higher vapor pressure.

Answer:

The higher the temperature, the more molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.
