Q305

A liquid under pressure greater than its vapour pressure for the temperature involved is called a __________ liquid.

A.
Subcooled
Answer
B.
Saturated
C.
Non-solidifiable
D.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
A subcooled liquid is at that state where if you want to vapourise the liquid at constant temperature we have to decrease the pressure hence we can say the liquid is at higher pressure under subcooled state.
