Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation
Two containers and are partly filled with water and closed. The volume of is twice that of and it contains half the amount of water in . If both are at the same temperature, the water vapour in the containers will have pressure in the ratio of
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Saturated vapour pressure depends only on temperature, not on the volume of the container or the amount of water.
- Both are at the same temperature, so the vapour pressures are equal.
- So the answer is (b) .
