A gas which is collected over water becomes moistened due to water vapor, exerts its own partial pressure at the gas temperature, which is termed as its_______________?
Correct answer: A. Aqueous tension
- A. Aqueous tension
- B. Saturated humidity
- C. Vapor pressure
- D. Absolute humidity
Explanation
Water vapour in a gas collected over water exerts its own partial pressure at the gas temperature. This pressure is called aqueous tension, while vapour pressure is the broader term for a liquid's equilibrium vapour pressure.
