Butane is a gas at room temperature; however, if you look closely at a butane lighter you see it contains liquid butane. Explain how it is possible to have liquid butane present.
he following demonstration takes place in a two-step process: rst, solid calcium carbide (CaC2j)reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2)and aqueous calcium hydroxide. Second the acetylene gas produced is then ignited with a match, causing the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. Write the balanced equations for each reaction that is occurring, including all phases. If a 100.0gsample of calcium carbide (CaC2)is initially reacted with 50.0gof water, which reactant is limiting? Now imagine that the final gases produced are collected in a large bulkier and allowed to cool to room temperature. Using the information from part b ( l00.0gof Cec2reacting with 50.0gof H2O), how many liters of carbon dioxide gas were produced in the balloon at a pressure of 1.00atm and 25C?

A tank of gas at 21C has a pressure of 1.0 atm. Using the data in the table, answer the following questions. Explain your answers. a If the tank contains carbon tetrafluoride, CF4, is the liquid state also present? b If the tank contains butane, C4H20, is the liquid state also present?
5-106 The normal boiling point of hexane, C6H14, is 69°C, and that of pentane, C5H12, is 36°C. Predict which of these compounds has a higher vapor pressure at 20°C.
In the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)

Consider a sealed container half-filled with water. Which statement best describes what occurs in the container? a. Water evaporates until the air is saturated with water vapor; at this point, no more water evaporates. b. Water evaporates until the air is overly saturated (super-por: at this point, no more water evaporates. Water evaporates until the air is overly saturated (supersaturated) with water, and most of this water recondenses; this cycle continues until a certain amount of water vapor is present, and then the cycle ceases. c. Water does not evaporate because the container is sealed. d. Water evaporates. and then water evaporates and recondenses simultaneously and continuously. e. Water evaporates until it is eventually all in vapor form. Explain each choice. Justify your choice, and for choices you did not pick. explain what is wrong with them.
