What is the term for the pressure exerted by water molecules at a given temperature when they are in equilibrium with the liquid state?

Options

AAtmospheric pressure
BEquilibrium pressure
CBoiling point pressure
DEquilibrium vapor pressure

Correct answer

D. Equilibrium vapor pressure

Step-by-step solution

The pressure exerted by water molecules at a given temperature in equilibrium with the liquid state is called the equilibrium vapor pressure of water.
