A 5.4-L closed vessel is filled with 0.46 g of liquid ethanol. This ethanol containing closed vessel is placed in the freezer and reaches the vapor pressure of 6.65 torr at -11 C. (i) Is there any liquid ethanol remained in the closed vessel when the container is removed and warmed to the temperature of 25 C? Justify your answer. (ii) How many grams of liquid ethanol remained in the vessel at 2.0 C? The enthalpy changes of vaporization, AHvap of ethanol is 40.5 kJ/mol. The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
