Question

the vapor pressure of H2O with surface area of 50.0cm2 is (greater than, less than, the same as) the vaporpressure of H2O with surface area of 5.0cm2. The vapor pressure of H2O at 75 degrees C is(greater than, less than, the same as) the vapor pressure ofH2O at 25 degrees C. Please just explain and don't give the answers :) the vapor pressure of H2O with surface area of 50.0cm2 is (greater than, less than, the same as) the vaporpressure of H2O with surface area of 5.0cm2. The vapor pressure of H2O at 75 degrees C is(greater than, less than, the same as) the vapor pressure ofH2O at 25 degrees C. Please just explain and don't give the answers :)

Explanation / Answer

I think the first one is same Vapor pressure depends on the temperature of the water. The areadoes not have an effect (assuming the water is in equilibrium withthe environment). Vapor pressure is a function of the state atwhich the sample was prepared (concentration, temperature), whichare assumed to be the same for both (pure water, sametemperature) Vapor pressures should increase with temperature. So the secondanswer is greater than.
