Which of the following statement is / are true for the equilibrium between water and water vapour ?
It has constant vapour pressure
Rate of conversion of vapours to water and water to vapours becomes constant
Rate of conversion of vapours to water and water to vapours becomes same
Both a and c
As we have learned
Liquid Vapour equilibrium -
When a liquid evaporates in a closed container molecules with relatively higher kinetic energy escape the liquid surface into the vapour phase and number of liquid molecules from the vapour phase strikes the liquid surface and are retained in the liquid phase.It gives rise to a constant vapour pressure because of an equilibria.
-
For an equilibrium between water and water vapours the vapour pressure becomes constant and the rate of conversion of the two species becomes same
