The vapor pressure of a liquid, which varies with its temperature, is a measure of how much the vapor of the liquid tends to concentrate in the surrounding atmosphere as the liquid evaporates. [25] Vapor pressure is a major determinant of the flash point and flame point, with higher vapor pressures leading to lower flash points and higher ...
