Chemistry · The vapour pressure of solutions and Raoult's Law - Ideal and non-ideal solutions, vapour pressure composition, plots for ideal and non-ideal solutions

The incorrect statement is :

The incorrect statement is :

  • A. Vapour pressure of a liquid always increases by increasing temperature.
  • B. Vapour pressure onlydepends on temperature and not on the nature of substance.
  • C. Vapour pressure does not depend on the quantity of the liquid taken and the surface area of the liquid.
  • D. Vapour pressure is not a colligative property \& is independent of the concentration of the liquid.

Step-by-step solution

Vapour pressure is a property that depends on both temperature and the nature of the substance (intermolecular forces). It increases with temperature but varies among different liquids at the same temperature. Therefore, statement B is incorrect.
