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?
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.
5-86 Using the phase diagram of water (Figure 5-20), describe the process by which you can sublime 1 g of ice at-10°C and at 1 atm pressure to water vapor at the same temperature.
ook at Fig. 14.2. Why doesn't temperature increase continuously ever time? That is, why does the temperature stay constanl for periods of time?
You and a friend each synthesize a compound with the formula XeCI2F2. Your compound is a liquid and your friend's compound is a gas (at the same conditions of temperature and pressure). Explain how the two compounds with the same formulas can exist in different phases at the same conditions of pressure and temperature.
What are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.
Define the following and give an example of each: (a) dispersion force (b) dipole-dipole attraction (c) hydrogen bond
Suppose that three unknown pure substances are liquids at room temperature. You make vapor pressure measurements and find that substance Q has a pressure of torr, substance R has a pressure of 42 torr, and substance S has a pressure of 330 torr. If you slowly increase the temperature, which substance will boil first and which will boil last?
Answer the following questions: (a) If XX behaved as an ideal gas, what would its graph of Z vs. P look like? (b) For most of this chapter, we performed calculations treating gases as ideal. Was this justified? (c) What is the effect of the volume of gas molecules on Z? Under what conditions is this effect small? When is it large? Explain using an appropriate diagram. (d) What is the effect of intermolecular attractions on the value of Z? Under what conditions is this effect small? When is it large? Explain using an appropriate diagram. (e) In general, under what temperature conditions would you expect Z to have the largest deviations from the Z for an ideal gas?
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?
Diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) was one of the first chemicals used as an anesthetic. At 34.6C, diethyl ether has a vapor pressure of 760. torr, and at 17.9C, it has a vapor pressure of 400. torr. What is the H of vaporization for diethyl ether?
When water is placed in a buret it forms a concave meniscus at the surface. In contrast, mercury (in a manometer for example) forms a convex meniscus (Figure 11.17). Explain why this phenomenon occurs, and why the two liquids give different results. Predict the meniscus shape if the buret is filled with ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH). Meniscus Water in glass tubes (right) is attracted to the polar OH groups on the surface of glass and so water forms a downward facing or concave meniscus. Mercury, however, is not attracted to the glass surface, and so forms a convex meniscus (left).
