Question

What will the change on increasing the pressure at equilibrium: water ⇌ water vapour?

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

Increasing the pressure favours the liquid phase (lower volume). Therefore, a higher temperature is required for the vapour pressure of the liquid to equal the external pressure, which corresponds to an increase in boiling point. Therefore, correct answer is A.
