A special vessel (see Fig. 10.45) contains ice and supercooled water (both at 10C) connected by vapor space. Describe what happens to the amounts of ice and water as time passes.
The enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.
Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.
Answer the following questions using Figure 11.12: (a) What is the approximate equilibrium vapor pressure of water at 60 C? Compare your answer with the data in Appendix G. (b) At what temperature does water have an equilibrium vapor pressure of 600 mm Hg? (c) Compare the equilibrium vapor pressures of water and ethanol at 70 C. Which is higher? Figure 11.12 Vapor pressure curves for diethyl ether [(C2H3)2O], ethanol (C2H5OH), and water. Each curve represents conditions of T and P of which the two phases, liquid and vapor, are in equilibrium. These compounds exist as liquids for temperatures and pressures to the left of the curve and as gases under conditions to the right of the curve. (See Appendix G for vapor pressures for water of various temperatures.)
Consider two different organic compounds, each with the formula C2H6O. One of these compounds is a liquid at room conditions and the other is a gas. Write Lewis structures consistent with this observation, and explain your answer. (Hint: The oxygen atom in both structures satisfies the octet rule with two bonds and two lone pairs.)
Classify each substance in the table as either a metallic, ionic, molecular, or covalent network solid: Substance Appearance Melting Point Electrical Conductivity Solubility in Water X lustrous, malleable 1500 C high insoluble Y Soft, yellow 113 C None Insoluble Z Hard, white 800 C Only if melted/dissolved soluble
Consider the phase diagram and heating-curve graphs for Question 113. Draw corresponding heating curves for T1 to T2 at pressures P1 and P2. Label each phase and phase change on your heating curves.
Elemental carbon has one gas phase, one liquid phase, and two different solid phases, as shown in the phase diagram: (a) On the phase diagram, label the gas and liquid regions. (b) Graphite is the most stable phase of carbon at normal conditions. On the phase diagram, label the graphite phase. (c) If graphite at normal conditions is heated to 2500 K while the pressure is increased to 1010 Pa, it is converted into diamond. Label the diamond phase. (d) Circle each triple point on the phase diagram. (e) In what phase does carbon exist at 5000 K and 108 Pa? (f) If the temperature of a sample of carbon increases from 3000 K to 5000 K at a constant pressure of 106 Pa, which phase transition occurs, if any?
Why are steam burns so much worse than water burns even if the H2O is at the same temperature for both phases? Hint: Consider the heat of vaporization of water.
Use the phase diagram for sulfur for Question 75. The solid forms of sulfur are rhombic and monoclinic. (a) A triple point is defined as a temperature and pressure where three phases are in equilibrium. How many triple points does sulfur have? Indicate the approximate temperature and pressure at each. (b) Which physical states are present at equilibrium under these conditions? (i) 102 atm and 80 C (ii) 101 atm and 140 C (iii) 103 atm and 110 C (iv) 104 atm and 160 C Phase diagram for sulfur, for Question 75.
Explain why the enthalpies of vaporization of the following substances increase in the order CH4NH3H2O, even though all three substances have approximately the same molar mass.
Are changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?
