If some of the vapor is allowed to escape from a sample where liquid and vapor are in equilibrium, the immediate result is
A) an increase in intermolecular force strength
B) a decrease in condensation rate
C) a decrease in evaporation rate
D) more than one correct response
E) no correct response

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
