Question
what is the relationship between temperature and vapor pressure?
a there is no relationship between temperature and vapor pressure.
b the lower the temperature the higher the vapor pressure.
c the higher the temperature the higher the vapor pressure.
d the higher the temperature the lower the vapor pressure.
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules in the liquid or solid increases. This leads to more molecules having enough energy to escape into the vapor phase, thus increasing the vapor pressure. Conversely, at lower temperatures, fewer molecules have sufficient energy to escape, resulting in lower vapor pressure. So, there is a direct relationship between temperature and vapor pressure.
