B) the same as
C) less than

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The saturation vapor pressure above a liquid water surface is greater than that above an ice surface at the same sub-freezing temperature because water molecules escape more easily from the liquid phase than from the solid phase.

At the Same Sub-Freezing Temperature,the Saturation Vapor Pressure Just Above
