The air over an unknown liquid is saturated with the vapor of that liquid at 23 °C and a total pressure of 0.976 atm. Suppose that a sample of 6.32 L of the saturated air is collected and the vapor of the unknown liquid is removed from that sample by cooling and condensation. The pure air remaining occuples a volume of 3.71 L at -28 °C and 1.00 atm. Calculate the vapor pressure of the unknown liquid at 23 °C. Submit Answer 5 question attempts remaining atm

In an experiment, 20.00 L of dry nitrogen gas, N2, at 20.0C and 750.0 mmHg is slowly bubbled into water in a flask to determine its vapor pressure (see the figure on next page). The liquid water is weighed before and after the experiment, from which the experimenter determines that it loses 353.6 mg in mass. Answer the following questions. a How many moles of nitrogen were bubbled into the water? b The liquid water diminished by how many moles? What happened to the liquid? c How many moles of gas exit the flask during the experiment? What is the partial pressure of nitrogen gas exiting? The total gas pressure is 750.0 mmHg. d From these data, calculate the vapor pressure of water at 20C. Does this agree with what you expect?
