21. A vapour is said to be saturated when A. a dynamic equilibrium exists such that more molecules return to the liquid than are leaving it B. the vapour pressure is atmospheric C. the temperature of the vapour varies D. a dynamic equilibrium exists between liquid molecules and the vapour molecules

  • A. a dynamic equilibrium exists such that more molecules return to the liquid than are leaving it
  • B. the vapour pressure is atmospheric
  • C. the temperature of the vapour varies
  • D. a dynamic equilibrium exists between liquid molecules and the vapour moleculesCorrect
