Consider a container partially filled with water at a constant temperature, T. Water is the only substance in this cylinder. How will the equilibrium vapor pressure of water, p(H2O), change when the total volume of the cylinder is increased by a factor of 2?
a) p(H2O) will decrease.
b) p(H2O) will stay the same.
c) p(H2O) will increase.
d) The answer cannot be determined because it depends on the amount of water.
e) The answer cannot be determined because it depends on the size of the cylinder.
f) Both D and E are correct.
