The vapor pressure of water above 40 mL of water in a 100 mL container is 23.8 Torr at 25^$\omicron$C .What is the vapor pressure of the water if the volume of the container is changed to 50 mL?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vapor pressure of a liquid in a closed container is independent of the volume of the container. It depends only on the temperature, assuming the amount of liquid remains constant and there is enough liquid to ensure that it does not all evaporate. Therefore, changing the volume of the container from 100 mL to 50 mL does not affect the vapor pressure of water, which remains at 23.8 Torr.
