Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The appearance of the system when water is placed in a thick- walled glass tube whose internal volume is
Concept Introduction: Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.
When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.
If intermolecular force is small the vapor pressure of the substance is high and the boiling point will be low.
(b)
Interpretation: The pressure in the tube when water is placed in a thick- walled glass tube whose internal volume is

(c)
Interpretation: Volume of the liquid water in the tube has to be identified.
