      • Water vapor takes up more space than an equal mass of liquid water. As a result, in a closed container, the vapor that forms can exert a significant amount of pressure. This pressure is known as vapor pressure. Even in an open container, the vapor is confined by the air pressing down on it. Some of it collects at the surface and exerts pressure.

    The most important factors affecting vapor pressure are temperature and type of molecules: 1. Temperature: Temperature has the greatest effect on vapor pressure. As temperature increases, vapor pressure increases. As temperature decreases, vapor pressure decreases. This makes sense, as imparting thermal energy gives molecules more kinetic energy. T...

    The vapor pressure of water depends on its temperature. The vapor pressure of water at room temperature (25 °C) is 23.8 mm Hg, 0.0313 atm, or 23.8 torr, or 3.17 kPa. At its freezing point (0 °C), the vapor pressure of water is 4.6 torr. At its boiling point (100 °C), the vapor pressure of water is 658.0 torr (atmospheric pressure).

    There are several vapor pressure formulas, but two common ones are Raoult’s law and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

  2. Mar 13, 2023 · Vapor pressure is the pressure inside a closed container when a liquid is in equilibrium with its own gas phase so the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation. When a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a volatile solvent, the vapor pressure of the solvent is reduced.

  3. Apr 12, 2023 · The vapor pressure of liquid SO 2 is 33.4 torr at −63.4°C and 100.0 torr at −47.7 K. What is the ΔH vap of SO 2? What is its vapor pressure at −24.5 K? At what temperature is the vapor pressure equal to 220 torr?

  4. Nov 21, 2023 · The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by vapor at equilibrium with its solid or liquid in a closed chamber. It can be calculated either by using Clausius-Clapeyron Equation or...
