Whatever it is, gas, vapor, liquid, solid - the higher the temperature, the higher is the local agitation/speed of the molecules/atoms.

Is the vapor pressure of a liquid a linear function of temperature?
If the temperature of the liquid is raised, more molecules escape to the vapor until equilibrium is once again established. The vapor pressure of a liquid, therefore, increases with increasing temperature.
Which of the following factors affect the vapour pressure of a liquid?
Type of molecule: intermolecular forces between molecules are: * relatively strong, the vapor pressure will be relatively low. * relatively weak, the vapor pressure will be relatively high. Temperature: * higher temperature, more molecules have enough energy to escape from the liquid or solid. * lower temperature, fewer molecules have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid or solid.
What is the relationship between polarity and vapor pressure?
They are inversely related. The volatility of a liquid increases with decreasing vapor pressure, as it provides more reversible effect on liquid molecules, so less liquid molecules are able to escape. Conversely, the volatility of liquid increases with decreasing vapor pressure, as it provides less reversible effect on liquid molecules, allowing more to escape.
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 happens because water vapor molecules are lighter than nitrogen or oxygen molecules?
humid air is lighter that an equal volume of dry air at the same temperature.
What is the relationship between water vapor air molecules temperature?
Whatever it is, gas, vapor, liquid, solid - the higher the temperature, the higher is the local agitation/speed of the molecules/atoms.
What happen to the molecules of water vapor when the temperature of the gas cools?
the water vapor turns to liquid
What happens to the molecules of water vapor when the temperature of the gas cools?
the water vapor turns to liquid
How does temperature affect vapor pressure?
Vapor pressure increases with temperature. As the temperature increases ,molecules of liquid find it easier to escape.
What are the factors affecting the pressure?
Type of molecule: intermolecular forces between molecules are: * relatively strong, the vapor pressure will be relatively low. * relatively weak, the vapor pressure will be relatively high. Temperature: * higher temperature, more molecules have enough energy to escape from the liquid or solid. * lower temperature, fewer molecules have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid or solid.
Do the fastest or slowest moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to form water vapor?
The fastest moving water molecules will break away from the surfrace of the water to form water vapor, they have the energy to overcome the attractive forces between molecules.
Is the vapor pressure of a liquid a linear function of temperature?
If the temperature of the liquid is raised, more molecules escape to the vapor until equilibrium is once again established. The vapor pressure of a liquid, therefore, increases with increasing temperature.

Are water molecules the same as water vapor?
Water vapor is composed of water molecules with enough energy (temperature) to support that phase, as opposed to liquid or solid phases.
What is the relationship between the temperature and dew point?
Dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in the air condenses, then evaporates. The barometric or air pressure is independent from the dew point.
What does the amount of water vapor that air can hold depend on?
It depends on the amount of water vapor entering the air (evaporation) and leaving the air (condensation and precipitation). The maximum depends mainly on the temperature of the air. Pressure, which changes with temperature and altitude, is also a factor.
What is the relationship between polarity and vapor pressure?
They are inversely related. The volatility of a liquid increases with decreasing vapor pressure, as it provides more reversible effect on liquid molecules, so less liquid molecules are able to escape. Conversely, the volatility of liquid increases with decreasing vapor pressure, as it provides less reversible effect on liquid molecules, allowing more to escape.
