Exploring Vapor Pressure

• The solute particles increase the vapor pressure of the solution. (correct)
• The solute particles decrease the freezing point of the solution.
• The solute particles increase the boiling point of the solution.
• The presence of solute particles lowers the vapor pressure of the solution.

• Solute particles have no effect on the vapor pressure of a solution.
• Solute particles increase the vapor pressure of a solution. (correct)
• Solute particles decrease the vapor pressure of a solution.
• Solute particles only affect the boiling point of a solution.

The presence of solute particles in a solution increases the number of particles at the surface, leading to more collisions and increased vapor pressure.
