Question

Select all that apply for  saturated vapor:

 
 

It refers to a point on a T-v diagram on a specific isobaric (constant pressure) line.

 

It is about to vaporize.

 

It is about to condense.

 

Any heat removed will cause some of the vapor to condense.

 

It is still a 100% vapor.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The saturated vapor is a substance that exists completely as vapor at its saturation temperature. On a T-V phase diagram, it exists as a line shown below:

Chemical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Point 1: Subcooled liquid region

Point 2: Saturated liquid line

Point 3: Saturated vapor-liquid region

Point 4: Saturated vapor line

Point 5: Superheated vapor region

Step 2

Since it is totally a vapor at its saturated state, that is, on the verge of condensation, and any removal of heat will tend the vapor to condense.

Step 3

Now,

  1. It refers to a point on a T-v diagram on a specific isobaric (constant pressure) line:

Does not apply as it is a line different from the isobaric line.

Step 4
  1. It is about to vaporize:

Does not apply as it is already in vapor state and cannot vaporize further.
