Question

If a liquid is transferred from a smaller vessel to a bigger vessel under the identical conditions of temperature, what will be the effect on the vapour pressure?

Solution

At constant temperature when the surface area is increased, it is possible that more liquid will evaporate but at the same time, more vapours are entering into the vessel until an equilibrium is reached. Therefore, there will be no effect on the vapour pressure when a liquid is transferred from a smaller vessel to a bigger vessel under the identical condition of temperature,
