An open beaker of water in equilibrium with water vapour is in a sealed container. When a few grams of glucose are added to the beaker of water, the rate at which water molecules :
Options
- Aleaves the vapour increases
- Bleaves the solution increases
- Cleaves the solution decreases
- Dleaves the vapour decreases
Correct answer
A. leaves the vapour increases
Step-by-step solution
The vapour pressure of solution will be less than vapour pressure of pure solvent, so some vapour molecules will get condensed to maintain new equilibrium.
