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
