In atmospheric science, how does saturated vapour pressure change with temperature?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases rapidly with increasing temperature

Answer: B. Saturated vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by water vapour when the air is saturated at a particular temperature. When temperature rises, water molecules have more kinetic energy, so more molecules can escape from a liquid surface into the gas phase. Consequently, the amount of vapour needed to reach saturation and the corresponding equilibrium pressure rise rapidly. This relationship is important for evaporation, cloud formation, humidity, and rainfall. A is wrong because saturated vapour pressure normally increases, rather than decreases, with temperature. C is wrong because it is strongly temperature-dependent. D is wrong because it has positive values under ordinary conditions and is not permanently zero. The increase is not best explained by air simply having more “space”; it results mainly from temperature-dependent molecular equilibrium. Memory cue: warmer air permits a higher saturation vapour pressure.
