Question

The water exists at ${100}^{o}C$ and $2$ atm is in:

• A. liquid only
• B. liquid and solid
• C. gas only
• D. gas and liquid

Answer 1

The correct option is A liquid only

$\begin{array}{c}\text{At}{100}^{\circ }C\text{and}1\text{atm},\text{liquid water exists in equilibrium}\\ \text{with water vapour.}\\ \text{But, on increasing pressure, tendancy to go to gaseous form}\\ \text{decreases and hence, it exists in liquid state in given condition .}\end{array}$
