Applying Le- Chatelier's principle, predict the effect of temperature and pressure on evaporation of water.

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans Evaporation of water can be represented as water + heat water vapours:
i) With increase in pressure- the equilibrium tend to shift in direction where there is decrease in the
vol. i.e. towards left.
ii) with increase in temperature- the equilibrium shifts to right as it is an endothermic reaction.
