Answer:
VAPOUR PRESSURE
The pressure exerted by vapour on the surface of liquid when they are in equilibrium is known as vapour pressure.
Factors affecting vapour pressure :
(1.) Temperature
Vapour pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.
Clausius clapeyron equation
ln P2/P1 = ∆Hvap/R (1/T1 - 1/T2)
Here,
P1 and P2 are the vapour pressure at T1 and T2 respectively.
T is the temperature in Kelvin.
ln is the natural log.
R is the gas constant (8.314 J/K mol)
∆Hvap is the molar heat of vaporization.
(2.)Nature of liquid
- If the intermolecular forces of liquid decreases.Then, vapour pressure increases.
- Those liquid which have lower boiling point have higher vapour pressure.
