Vapour pressure of liquid depends on which factors ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Nature of the liquid : The liquid in which intermolecular forces are weaker tends to escape readily into vapour phase and have high vapour pressure.
(b) Temperature : This increase with increase in temperature. As temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules and hence more molecules escape from the surface of liquid and increase pressure.

Vapour pessure of a liquid or a solution is the pressure exerted by the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid or solution at a particular temperature. It depends upon the nature of the liquid and temperature. It depends upon the nature of the liquid and temperature. According to Raoult's law in a solution, the vapour pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component in solution multiplied by the vapour pressure of that component in hte pue state. this solution in which each component obeys Raoult's law are called ideal solutions. there are two types of non ideal solutions, showing positive deviations and negative deviations from ideal behaviour. If liquid A and B form ideal solution, then
