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

Options

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

B

Explanation

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.
