One litre of water is kept in a closed two litre vessel at temperature T with no air in the space above the liquid (System 1). Another identical system is prepared but there is air above the liquid (System 2). Assuming water vapour as well as air to behave as ideal gases and water to be in equilibrium with the vapour above the liquid, the correct statement(s) is/are
Options
- AThe total pressure of gas (water vapour and air) in System 2 increases nonlinearly with T.
- BThe partial pressure of water vapour in System 2 is same as the pressure in System 1.
- CThe pressure of water vapour in System 1 increases nonlinearly with T.
- DThe pressure of water vapour in System 1 increases linearly with T.
Correct answer
C. The pressure of water vapour in System 1 increases nonlinearly with T.
