Suppose you have a vacuum chamber at room temperature and you place some liquid water inside the chamber keeping it sealed. Which of the following best describes what will happen? The water molecules will remain in the liquid form. O The water molecules will immediately begin to enter the gas phase until all of the water molecules are in the gas phase. O The water molecules will immediately begin to enter the gas phase. As the concentration of gas phase water increases, gas phase water molecules begin to return to the liquid phase. O None of the above

Give answer to both part of question

Suppose you have a vacuum chamber at
room temperature and you place some liquid
water inside the chamber keeping it sealed.
Which of the following best describes what
will happen?
The water molecules will remain in the liquid
form.
O The water molecules will immediately begin to
enter the gas phase until all of the water
molecules are in the gas phase.
O The water molecules will immediately begin to
enter the gas phase. As the concentration of
gas phase water increases, gas phase water
molecules begin to return to the liquid phase.
O None of the above

Overtime, the concentration of water in the
liquid and gas phases will remain constant.
When this occurs, the pressure exerted by
the gas phase water vapor is called the vapor
pressure. True or false, a dynamic equilibrium
is established once enough water molecules
have entered the gas phase to reach the
vapor pressure.
True
False
