Meaning

The pressure exerted by a vapor; often understood to mean saturated vapor pressure (the vapor pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid form).

Classification

Nouns denoting natural phenomena.

Examples

  • The vapor pressure of water increases with temperature, which is why hot water evaporates more quickly than cold water.
  • To determine the boiling point of a substance, we need to consider its vapor pressure at different temperatures.
  • At the critical point, the vapor pressure of a substance equals the pressure of its liquid form.
  • Measuring the vapor pressure of a liquid at various temperatures allows us to construct its vapor pressure curve.
  • The vapor pressure of a solution is typically lower than that of the pure solvent due to the presence of solute particles.

Synonyms

  • Vapour Pressure

Hypernyms

  • Force Per Unit Area
  • Pressure Level
