Consider two empty containers A and B whose volumes are 10mL and 20mL respectively. 1mL of liquid water is put into each container and the temperature of each container is adjusted to 20°C. The gas pressure in container B, which still has some liquid water in it, is found to be 17 torr. How would the pressure in container A and the amount of liquid water in container A compare to that of container B?
a) the pressure would be the same, there would be an equal amount of liquid water
b) the pressure would be greater, there would be an equal amount of liquid water
c) the pressure would be greater, there would be less liquid water
d) the pressure would be the same, there would be more liquid water
Answer: d) the pressure would be the same, there would be more liquid water
