Why is the vapour pressure of liquid constant at a constant temperature ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Vapour pressure is the pressure of the vapour at equilibrium state when rate of evaporation becomes equal to rate of condensation. Equilibrium constant does not change at a particular temperature and, therefore, vapour pressure remains constant.
