To a 1L flask that contains air at a pressure of 104 kPa a small amount of liquid is added. The pressure in the flask after the addition of the liquid is 107 kPa. What is the vapor pressure of the liquid
Solution :-
pressure of the gas = 104 kpa
total rpessure = 107 kpa
vapor pressure of liquid = ?
Total pressure = pressure of gas + vapor pressure of liquid
therefore
vapor pressure of liquid = total pressure - pressure of gas
= 107 kPa - 104 kPa
= 3.00 kPa
Therefore the vapor pressure of the liquid is 3.00 kPa
