Which of the following best explains why vapor pressure is affected by adding solute to a solvent?
Adding solute to the solvent increases the volume of solution therefore reducing the amount of space in a sealed container.

Adding solute reduces the amount of surface area available for the solvent molecules to evaporate.

Adding solute increases both the molality and the molecular weight of the solution.

Adding solute disrupts the intermolecular forces between the solvent molecules.

Adding solute disrupts the intermolecular forces between the solvent molecules.
