A cylindrical open top vessel with 30 cm diameter contains 100 grams of water at 25 °C and 1 atm. The time required to evaporate all the water is 30 hours at the given conditions. What is the time required to evaporate the same amount of the water from the same vessel if the temperature is 65 °C and the pressure is 0.8 atmosphere. Given that the vapor pressures of water at 25 °C and 65 °C are 0.031 atmosphere and 0.247 atmosphere respectively, and the vapor pressure of water at 50 mm far from the water surface is negligible at all temperatures.

Q2:
A cylindrical open top vessel with 30 cm diameter contains 100 grams of
water at 25 °C and 1 atm. The time required to evaporate all the water is
30 hours at the given conditions. What is the time required to evaporate
the same amount of the water from the same vessel if the temperature is
65 °C and the pressure is 0.8 atmosphere. Given that the vapor pressures
of water at 25 °C and 65 °C are 0.031 atmosphere and 0.247 atmosphere
respectively, and the vapor pressure of water at 50 mm far from the water
surface is negligible at all temperatures.
