A 6.28L sample of methane was collected over water at 15°C until the pressure in the flask was 711 torr. A small amount of CaSO4(s) was then added to the flask to absorb the water vapor (forming CASO4-2H2O(s)). What is the pressure inside the flask once all the water is absorbed? Assume that the addition of CaSO4(s) absorbed all the water and did not change the volume of the flask. The pressure in the flask is i torr.

The height of Mt. Everest is 29,000' and the atmospheric pressure is 253 mmHg (0.333 atm). The gas constant R is 8.314J/K*mol and the heat of vaporization of water (AHvap) is 40.8 kJ/mol. The pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg. Note 1: The P₁ is the pressure at sea level and P₂ is the pressure on Mt. Everest. Note 2: The T₁ temperature is the boiling point of water at sea level which is 100 °C or 373 K. Note 3: The term AHvap is express in kJ/mol. This must be converted to J/mol. a) Using the two component Clausius-Clapeyron equation, determine the boiling point of water on the top of Mt. Everest. InP1/P₂= AHvap/R(1/T2-1/T1) 4
