E) surface tension

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a substance when it is in equilibrium with its liquid state. As the temperature of the liquid increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases, which leads to an increase in the number of molecules that can escape into the vapor phase. Therefore, higher temperatures lead to higher vapor pressures.
