The vapor pressure lines for pure as well as solutionsof different concentrations are shown. Which line represents pure water?

Correct answer: A. 1

  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4

Explanation

Pure water (with the highest vapor pressure) will boil at the lowest temperature.Boiling occurs when vapor pressure = external pressure.Since pure water already has a higher vapor pressure, it reaches that point sooner - i.e., at a lower temperature
