Question 13 / 40:  Which of the following best describes the relative magnitudes of the vapor pressures of water from a small droplet and from a flat surface?
A  The vapor pressure from a flat surface is larger than that from a droplet.
B  The vapor pressure from a droplet is equal to that from a flat surface.
C  The vapor pressure from the droplet is larger than that from a flat surface.
D  The vapor pressure from a small droplet is very, very small.
