At a certain temperature, when a liquid is in equilibrium with the vapor present on its surface, the pressure generated by this vapor is called the saturated vapor pressure, or simply vapor pressure.
The pressure of a vapor that is in phase equilibrium with a solid or liquid at a certain temperature is called vapor pressure. The same substance has different vapor pressures at different temperatures, and these pressures increase as the temperature rises. Different liquids have different saturated vapor pressures; when a solute is insoluble, the saturated vapor pressure of the pure solvent is higher than that of the solution ; For the same substance, the saturated vapor pressure in the solid state is lower than that in the liquid state.

Saturated vapor pressure refers to the gas pressure (partial pressure) of a substance in a closed space, at a given temperature, when its liquid phase and gas phase coexist.
In any liquid, the molecules on its surface have a tendency to break away from the surface and enter space, a process known as vaporization. At the same time, the spatial gas molecules generated also have a tendency to form a liquid due to their continuous movement, that is, liquefaction. Vaporization and liquefaction are two opposite processes that occur simultaneously. At a certain temperature, when the number of molecules that move into space equals the number of molecules that form the liquid, that is, when the relative amounts of vapor and liquid no longer change, a dynamic equilibrium is established between the vapor and the liquid. At this point, the vapor pressure above the liquid is the saturated vapor pressure of that liquid at that temperature. Definition: Saturation vapor pressure refers to the gas pressure (partial pressure) of a substance in a closed space, at a given temperature, when its liquid phase and gas phase coexist. At this point, the evaporation/condensation process reaches dynamic equilibrium.
Vapor pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the vapor of a substance present on the surface of a liquid (or solid) on that liquid’s surface; this pressure is known as the vapor pressure of the liquid. For example, the surface of water has a vapor pressure; when this vapor pressure equals the total pressure of the gases above the water surface, the water boils. When we see water boiling, it is at 100 degrees Celsius when the vapor pressure of water equals one atmosphere. The vapor pressure changes with temperature; the higher the temperature, the greater the vapor pressure. Of course, it also depends on the type of liquid. At a certain temperature, the pressure exerted by steam that is in equilibrium with the liquid (or solid) form of the same substance is called the saturated vapor pressure, and this pressure increases as the temperature rises. For example, the water in a cup will gradually decrease as it keeps evaporating. If pure water is placed in a sealed container and the air above it is removed. As water continues to evaporate, the pressure of the vapor phase above the water surface, that is, the pressure exerted by the water vapor, increases continuously. However, when the temperature is constant, the vapor pressure will eventually stabilize at a fixed value; this vapor pressure is known as the saturated vapor pressure of water at that temperature. When the value of the vapor pressure reaches that of the saturated steam pressure, water molecules in the liquid phase continue to vaporize, and water molecules in the vapor phase continue to condense back into a liquid. Since the rate of vaporization of water is equal to the rate of condensation of water vapor, the amount of liquid does not decrease nor does the amount of gas increase; thus, a balance is achieved between the liquid and the gas. Therefore, when the pressure of the vapor of a liquid pure substance equals its saturated vapor pressure, phase equilibrium is achieved between the vapor and liquid phases. The saturated vapor pressure is an important property of a substance, and its value depends on the nature of the substance and the temperature. The higher the saturated vapor pressure, the more easily the substance volatilizes.
