E)combined volume of liquid and vapor.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pressure of a saturated vapor depends only on the temperature of the system. This is known as the vapor pressure, and it is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a closed system. The volume, mass, density, or combined volume of the liquid and vapor do not affect the vapor pressure.
