Condensation of a vapour-gas mixture just begins, when (where, p = partial pressure of the vapour P = vapour pressure of the liquid) ?

Correct answer: A. p = P

  • A. p = P
  • B. p >>P
  • C. p < P
  • D. p << P

Explanation

Condensation starts when the vapour partial pressure reaches the saturation vapour pressure of the liquid at the same temperature. If p is lower than P, the vapour remains unsaturated and does not condense.
