    A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour at its boiling point. On the average, the molecules in in two phases have equal

    A) intermolecular forces

    B) potential energy

    C)  kinetic energy

    D)  total energy

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In liquid \[\] vapour equilibrium, the rate at which molecules escape from the liquid surface to gaseous phase is equal to the rate at which molecules in the gas phase strike the surface and becomes the part of liquid. Hence, the molecules in the two phases have equal kinetic energy.
