Chemistry · EQUILIBRIUM
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: A liquid with a higher equilibrium vapour pressure at a given temperature is more volatile and has a lower normal boiling point. Statement II: The equilibrium vapour pressure of water in a closed container increases with an increase in temperature. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
Both statements are correct. Higher vapour pressure means higher volatility and lower boiling point. Vapour pressure always increases with temperature.
