Step 1
This means that the number of molecules escaping the liquid phase and entering the gas phase is equal to the number of molecules returning from the gas phase to the liquid phase. This balance occurs due to a certain pressure exerted by the gas molecules above the Show more…

Which affects the equilibrium vapour pressure of a liquid in a sealed container, assuming that there is always some of the liquid present? A. The temperature of the liquid B. The surface area of the liquid C. The volume of the liquid D. The volume of the container
Hitendra S.
A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapor in a closed container. The lid of the container is removed briefly, allowing some of the vapor to escape, and then replaced. What is the immediate result of the vapor escaping? (a) vaporization rate decreases; (b) condensation rate decreases; (c) vaporization rate increases; (d) condensation rate increases; (e) none of these.
