What happens to the system in which the contained liquid evaporates at room temperature?

As the liquid evaporates at room temperature, the system will experience a decrease in the amount of liquid present and an increase in the amount of vapor in the container. This will result in a change in the pressure and temperature within the system as the liquid continues to evaporate.

What event causes vapors to appear?

Vapors are caused by the evaporation into air of a liquid. For example when water evaporates water vapor is produced. This typically happens when heat is applied to the liquid.


Explain how the attractive forces between the particles in a liquid and the equilibrium vapor pressure of that liquid related?

The weaker the intermolecular forces, the easier the liquid evaporates. Higher vapor pressure the faster it evaporates. Thus, the weaker the attractive forces, the higher the vapor pressure and vice versa.
