Question

Which of the following statement is correct for vapor pressure?

• A. Vapor pressure decreases with increase in temperature
• B. Vapor pressure is independent of temperature
• C. Vapor pressure increases with increase in temperature
• D. Vapor pressure becomes zero at high temperature

Hint:

Important facts about vapor pressure:
• Higher temperature \(\Rightarrow\) Higher vapor pressure
• Weak intermolecular forces \(\Rightarrow\) Higher vapor pressure
• Strong intermolecular forces \(\Rightarrow\) Lower vapor pressure Liquids like ether and acetone have high vapor pressure because their intermolecular forces are weak.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
