Assuming applicability of ideal gas law, the pure component volume of the vapor in a saturated gas can be calculated from theoretical relationship. The volumetric composition of a vapor saturated gas is independent of the___________________?
Correct answer: B. Nature of the gas
- A. Nature of the liquid
- B. Nature of the gas
- C. Temperature of the liquid
- D. Total pressure
Explanation
For an ideal gas saturated with vapour, the vapour partial pressure is fixed by the liquid's vapour pressure at the temperature, and its volume fraction also depends on total pressure. It is independent of the identity of the carrier gas under the ideal-gas assumption.
