Question
Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics terms
Kelvin equation is related to
A
Vapour pressure of droplets of liquids
B
Temperature of a liquid
C
Adsorption of liquid on solids
D
None of the above
Answer
Vapour pressure of droplets of liquids
Explanation
Solution
The Kelvin equation describes the change in vapour pressure due to a curved liquid vapour interface, such as the surface of a droplet. The vapour pressure at a convex curved surface is higher than that at a flat surface.The Kelvin equation is dependent upon thermodynamic principles.
