Explanation:
It is given that vapor pressure of pure water at 296 K is 2778.5 Pa.These vapors will result in the formation of an ideal gas.
Now, as water is covered with oil and contains only 1% molecules of water. Hence, the vapor pressure of this mixture will also be equal to the vapor pressure of pure water.
So, vapor pressure of mixture = 1% vapor pressure of pure water
Therefore,
=
= 27.785 Pa
Thus, we can conclude that the equilibrium vapor pressure of water above the oil layer is 27.785 Pa.
Answer: A. The compound CuCl is 500 times less soluble in sea water than it is in pure water.
pure water.
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.
This principle states that if there is any change in a equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction so as to minimize the effect.
Thus when a common ion is introduced to an equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction where the concentration of common ion is decreasing.


When common ion such as
from NaCl in sea water is introduced to an equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction where the concentration of common ion is decreasing i.e. in the left side and thus solubility of CuCl further decreases.
