Question

question 9 of 20
for liquids, which of the factors affect vapor pressure?
temperature
humidity
volume
surface area
intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Temperature affects vapor pressure as higher - temperature gives more kinetic energy to liquid molecules, increasing the likelihood of them escaping into the vapor phase. Volume affects vapor pressure because a change in volume can change the number of molecules in the vapor phase at equilibrium. Intermolecular forces play a role; stronger intermolecular forces hold liquid molecules together, reducing the tendency to vaporize and thus lowering vapor pressure. Humidity is related to the amount of water vapor in the air and does not directly affect the vapor - pressure of a liquid in a closed system. Surface area only affects the rate of vaporization, not the equilibrium vapor pressure.

Answer:

temperature, volume, intermolecular forces
