What statements is true about vapor pressure?

The vapor pressure of 1 m sucrose (C12H22O11) is higher than the vapor pressure of 1 m NaCl where the solvent is water Sea water has a lower vapor pressure than distilled water. The vapor pressure of 0.5 m NaNO3 is the same as the vapor pressure of 0.5 m KBr, assuming that the solvent in each case is water The vapor pressure of 0.10 m KCl is the same as the vapor pressure of 0.05 m AlCl3 assuming the solvent in each case is water The vapor pressure of 1 m NaCl is lower than the vapor pressure of 0.5 m KNO3, assuming that the solvent in each case is water The vapor pressure of 0.10 m NaCl is lower than the vapor pressure of 0.05 m MgCl2 assuming the solvent in each case is water.


What is the accurate definition of vapor pressure?

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature in a closed system. Vapor pressure is also known as equilibrium vapor pressure.
