Which of the following statements is true regarding the effect of atmospheric pressure on vapour pressure?
An increase in atmospheric pressure decreases the vapour pressure of a liquid.
An increase in atmospheric pressure increases the vapour pressure of a liquid.
Atmospheric pressure has no effect on the vapour pressure of a liquid.
The effect of atmospheric pressure on vapour pressure depends on the type of liquid.
The vapour pressure of a liquid is inversely proportional to the atmospheric pressure. An increase in atmospheric pressure causes the vapour pressure of the liquid to decrease, while a decrease in atmospheric pressure causes the vapour pressure of the liquid to increase.
