Two students measure the vapor pressure of the same unknown organic liquid and compare results. The first student measured a vapor pressure of 626.3 torr at 177 °C, while the second student measured a vapor pressure of 0.5580 atm at 158 °C. What is the ΔH°vap, in kilojoules per mole, for this substance?
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.
