MCQ
For the equilibrium reaction, H2​O(l) ⇌ H2​O(g), what happens, if pressure is applied:
  • A
    More water evaporates.
  • B
    The boiling point of water is increased.
  • C
    No effect on boiling point.
  • D
    None of the above.

Answer

  1. The boiling point of water is increased.

Explanation:

The equilibrium reaction is H2​O(l) ⇌ H2​O(g), when pressure is applied, the equilibrium will shift to left as the value of Δ n is positive. Hence, for boiling to occur more temperature is required. So, it will increase the boiling point.
