A vapor whose partial pressure is less than its equilibrium vapor pressure is called a ______________ vapor?
Correct answer: C. Superheated
- A. Saturated
- B. Supersaturated
- C. Superheated
- D. None of these
Explanation
When a vapour's partial pressure is below its equilibrium vapour pressure at the same temperature, it is unsaturated and is termed superheated vapour. A saturated vapour has equal partial and equilibrium pressures.

In Joule's experiment, an insulated container contains 20 kg of water initially at 25°C. It is stirred by an agitator, which is made to turn by a slowly falling body weighing 40 kg through a height of 4 m. The process is repeated 500 times. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms-2. Neglecting the heat capacity of agitator, the temperature of water (in °C) is________________?
