7.1. A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased.
(a) What is the initial effect of the change on the vapour pressure?
(b) How do the rates of evaporation and condensation change initially?
(c) What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure?

(a) What is the initial effect of the change on the vapour pressure?
(b) How do the rates of evaporation and condensation change initially?
(c) What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure?
(a) On increasing the volume of the container, the vapour pressure will initially decrease because the same amount of vapours is now distributed over a larger space.
(b) On increasing the volume of the container, the rate of evaporation will increase initially because now more space is available. S
