Understanding Vapor Pressure and Measure it

     Vapor Pressure of a pure liquid is the pressure exerted by the vapors of that liquid when it is heated in a closed container and allowed the liquid and its vapors to reach equilibrium, at that temperature.

     It must be noted that the liquid must not contain any impurity along with it to measure it's vapor pressure.
By the help of a pressure guage in that closed container, one can measure vapor pressure by above defined method.
