Question

Choose the correct statement with respect to the vapour pressure of a liquid among the following :

• A. Increases linearly with increasing temperature
• B. Increases non-linearly with increasing temperature
• C. Decreases linearly with increasing temperature
• D. Decreases non-linearly with increasing temperature

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Increases non-linearly with increasing temperature

Answer 2

If we plot a graph between the vapour pressure and the temperature. We would get a curve that rises faster as T increases, giving a curved line.
