Deck General USCG Question #1327 (Set 41)

Which of the following describes the relationship between the vapor pressure of a substance and temperature?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — increases with the temperature

Vapor pressure is directly dependent on temperature. As temperature rises, the thermal energy of the liquid molecules increases, allowing more molecules to escape into the vapor space. This increases the pressure exerted by the vapor against the tank boundaries.
