Which statement about vapor pressure of a pure liquid is not correct?
A)The vapor pressure is the pressure of the gas at a given temperature in equilibrium with its liquid phase.
B)The temperature at which the vapor pressure equals 760 torr is called the normal boiling point of the substance.
C)The vapor pressure increases with increasing temperature.
D)The vapor pressure increases with increasing surface area of the liquid.
E)Substances with weak intermolecular forces have high vapor pressures at a given temperature.

Question
