How does the vapor pressure of water at 10°C compared with its vapor pressure at 50°C ?

The vapor pressure of water at 10°C will be less as compared with its vapor pressure at 50°C.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of a liquid  is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors  in equilibrium with the liquid/solution at a particular temperature.

As Kinetic energy is dependent on the absolute temperature of the gas.

where R = gas constant

T = temperature

On increase in temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules increase and thus more liquid molecules can escape to form vapours and thus will exert more vapor pressure.

Thus the vapor pressure of water at 10°C will be less as compared with its vapor pressure at 50°C.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.

c) should be the answer.
