Question

Suppose a beaker of tetrahydrofuran is put inside a sealed tank containing tetrahydrofuran gas at 63. degree C and 810. torr. After ten minutes, will there be more liquid in the beaker, less liquid, or the same amount?

Answer 1

The pressure inside the beaker and the sealed tank are the same, so the liquid level in the beaker will remain the same.

The temperature inside the beaker and the sealed tank are also the same, so there will be no change in the amount of liquid in the beaker due to evaporation or condensation.

Therefore, after ten minutes, there will be the same amount of liquid in the beaker.
