When a volatile liquid is introduced into an evacuated closed vessel at a particular temperature, both evaporation and condensation take place simultaneously. The system reaches equilibrium state when

A

the liquid is completely transformed into the corresponding vapor

B

equal amounts of liquid and vapor are present in the system

C

the rate of evaporation becomes equal to the rate of condensation

D

liquid cannot be converted into vapor and vice versa.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
At equilibrium, the number of molecules leaving the liquid equals the number of molecules returning to the liquid from the vapor.

  • When petroleum is heated in a fractionating column, various fractions are obtained at various heights of the column. More volatile liquid goes upto the top and least volatile liquid remains at the bottom. Various gaseous fractions are condensed according to their boiling points. As the gas reaches at the height where temperature is equal to or just below its boiling point it will

    A
    condense to form a liquid
    B
    remain in gaseous state
    C
    condense to form a solid
    D
    escape from the column.

  • Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below , Stable equilibrium is of various type . Mechanical equilibrium is achieved when all particles are at rest and total potential energy of the system is minimum . At any stage where particles are at rest but the system is not at stabel equilibrium as it can reduce its potential energy by reverting to another position, is called metastable equilibrium . Thermal equilibrium is result from the absence of temperature gradients in the system. chemical equilibrium is obtained when no further reaction occurs between reacting substances, i.e forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal. when steam with solid iron at high temperature Fe_3O_4(s) and hydrogen gas are produced . But the reaction never goes to completion. this is because as the products are formed the reaction proceeds in reverse direction and when rate of reverse reaction is equal to rate of forward reaction , the concentration of reactants and products become constant and equilibrium is reached. The primary objective of the passage is

    A
    to discus different types of equilibrium
    B
    to distinguish between different types of equilibrium
    C
    to discuss concept of mechanical and chemical equilibrium
    D
    to explain how changing state of equilibrium would influence internal energy
