(a) Increases

(b) Decreases

(c) Won’t change

(d) Not related

This question was addressed to me in my homework.

I need to ask this question from Two Component System topic in division Phase Rule of Engineering Chemistry I

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Increases

To elaborate: Since for a system to be in equilibrium condition, its size automatically increases by Mond’s effect which is why the particle’s size increases during metastable state due to changes in molecular size.
