SUMMARY
The vapor pressure of a pure solvent remains constant regardless of changes in its concentration, as long as no solute is added. The discussion clarifies that concentration changes in a pure solvent can only occur through physical means, such as temperature variations or volume adjustments, rather than solute addition. Therefore, the vapor pressure is solely dependent on the temperature and intrinsic properties of the solvent, not its concentration.
