Question

A sealed container with liquid water in the bottom was left standing at a constant temperature until the air above the water surface became saturated with water vapor. The resulting pressure exerted by the water vapor is known as the ______ vapor pressure. The resulting vapor pressure value is unique to that particular temperature.

Answer 1

Answer:

Saturation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the statement is accounting for the saturation vapor pressure as it is the pressure of a vapor which is in equilibrium with its liquid, in other words it is the maximum exerted pressure possible by the vapor at a given temperature or just the maximum amount of the vapor, so there is neither no more vapor that could condense nor more liquid that could boil.

Best regards.
