70% to passThe vapor pressure of a gas is the pressure necessary to keep it in a(n) _______________.
A
liquefied state
B
soluble state
C
solid state
D
inert state
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) liquefied state. The vapor pressure of a gas is the pressure necessary to keep that gas in a liquefied state. Vapor pressure represents the pressure exerted by the gas molecules in equilibrium with the liquid phase at a given temperature. This pressure is required to prevent the gas from vaporizing and becoming a gas. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is not related to a gas being in a soluble, solid, or inert state.
