Study Notes
Vapor Pressure
- Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature in a closed system.
- Vapor pressure is dependent on the surface area of the liquid.
- When the surface area of the liquid is increased, vapor pressure also increases.
- Temperature affects vapor pressure, with higher temperatures resulting in higher vapor pressure (opposite of what was stated in the original text: "Vapor pressure increases with decreasing temperature" seems to be incorrect).
Note: The original text had an incorrect statement, which was corrected in the study notes.
