Question

Which statement explains the relationship between the temperature and vapor pressure of a liquid?(1 point)
Responses

The higher the temperature, the more molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.
The higher the temperature, the more molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.

The higher the temperature, the less molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.
The higher the temperature, the less molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.

Answer 1

The higher the temperature, the more molecules will vaporize, resulting in a greater vapor pressure.

Explanation: Raising temperature increases the molecules' kinetic energy so more can escape into the gas phase, which raises the vapor pressure (see Clausius–Clapeyron relation).
