1.	A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure?
Answer» Solution :When equilibrium is RESTORED, RATE of evaporation become equal to the rate of CONDENSATION. The final VAPOUR pressure will be the same as the original vapour pressure because vapour pressure depends only on temperature.
