The increase in vapour pressure of a liquid caused by an increase in temperature is best explained by which one of the following statements? More molecules can exist in the gaseous state at a higher temperature but the average kinetic energy is not changed. The same number of molecules can exist in the gaseous state at a higher temperature but the average kinetic energy is lower. The increase in temperature causes an increase in mass of each molecule and therefore a higher pressure. More molecules can exist in the gaseous state at a higher temperature and the average kinetic energy is higher.
