Choose the correct statement with respect to the vapour pressure of a liquid among the following:

A) Increases linearly with increasing temperature

B) Increases non-linearly with increasing temperature

C) Decreases linearly with increasing temperature

D) Decreases non-linearly with increasing temperature

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

[b] If we plot a graph between the vapour pressure and the temperature. We would get a curve that rises faster as T increases, giving a curved line.
