Vapour pressure is the pressure of the steam of a substance at a certain temperature.
This does not automatically mean that the substance is completely evaporated. When the vapour pressure reaches the surrounding (atmospheric) pressure, the substance starts to boil or sublimate.
Also at very low temperatures, even when the substance is in solid state, a certain amount of substance already exists as vapour. Though, for the most substances, the proportion of vapour is very small compared to the solid portion.
Finally, a substance does not have to melt before it evaporates. This is called sublimation and occurs, e.g., when solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is used: It will evaporate directly from the solid state (under normal ambient physical conditions), because, with rising temperature, the vapour pressure is already exceeding the atmospheric pressure before the melting point is reached.

Does the evaporation in the evaporation column influence the total pressure?
evaporation as such influence on the total pressure. evaporation occurs when the total pressure is greater than the surface molecules vapour pressure. as the rate of evaporation increases , more vapour will be there at the top, and then the new total pressure will become the sum of the earlier total pressure and vapour pressure of the vapour evaporated. hence total pressure increases.............
Does vapour pressure include the partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere during boiling process?
The partial pressure of water (vapor) is included in the total pressure of the atmosphere (air) when boiling.
What is the condition which occurs when the atmospheric pressure is equal to the vapour pressure?
boiling
What would have more vapour pressure pure ice or sweet ice?
Both will have same vapour pressure as salt{NACL} would get trapped in ice and in solid iced state get seprated from pure ice crystals. so in case melting of ice in soln state pure water will have more vapour pressure but in solid state both will have same vapour pressure.
What is the unit of true vapour pressure?
The unit of true vapour pressure is typically expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or kilopascals (kPa).

When smelling a liquid?
When this liquid has a great vapour pressure.
What is equilibrium vapor pressure?
It is vapor molecules in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed system exert a pressure proportional to the concentration of molecules in the vapor state.
What is the vapour pressure of liquids?
Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature in a closed system. It is a measure of a liquid's tendency to evaporate. The higher the vapor pressure, the more volatile a liquid is.
The vapour pressure of water at 25degrees is 3.14kPa When 0.050 mol of KNO3 is dissolved in 100ml of water at 25 degrees the vapour pressure is lowered by?
