Compare the rate of evaporation of water in an open container to that of water placed in a closed container.in which system does water evaporate easily? Will you expect a dynamic equilibrium to exist should the water be placed in an open container?

Sagot :

Answer:

Now in an open container, the liquid water (or other liquid) will slowly evaporate, and the container will empty eventually. In a closed container, there is dynamic equilibrium between the vapour phase, and the liquid phase, and the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation.
