Chapter 11, Problem 41IL

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The change happens when a can having $\text{10}\text{ml}$ of water is boiled and then cooled by placing over a pan of cold water.

Concept Introduction:

Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.

When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

A molecular level sketch of the situation inside the can before heating and after heating has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.

When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.

If intermolecular force is small the vapor pressure of the substance is high and the boiling point will be low.
