Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Volatility and vapor pressure are directly proportional to one another. As the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules become more energetic and are able to escape into the gas phase more easily, increasing both its volatility and vapor pressure. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, its volatility and vapor pressure also decrease.
