What are the primary factors affecting Vapour Pressure?

Expert Answer

  1. Temperature: VP increases exponentially with temperature. 2. Nature of Liquid (Intermolecular Forces): Liquids with weaker intermolecular forces (e.g., Diethyl ether) have higher VP (volatile). Stronger forces (e.g., H-bonding in Water) lead to lower VP. Note: Surface area and vessel shape do not affect VP.
