A pressure cooker (a kitchen appliance) is a pot on which the top seals tightly, allowing pressure to build up inside. You put water in the pot and heat it to boiling. At the higher pressure, water boils at a higher temperature, and this allows food to cook at a faster rate. Most pressure cookers have a setting of 15 psi, which means that the pressure in the pot is 15 psi above atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 14.70 psi). Use the Clausius–Clapeyron equation to calculate the temperature at which water boils in the pressure cooker.

- Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, has a vapor pressure of 213 torr at 40.C and 836 torr at 80.C. What is the normal boiling point of CCl4?arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forward
- What types of solids are these substances? (a) The hydrocarbon decane, C10H22, has a melting point of 31 C and is a poor electrical conductor. (b) Solid MgCl2 has a melting point of 714 C and conducts electricity only when melted.arrow_forwardRubidium chloride has the sodium chloride structure at normal pressures but assumes the cesium chloride structure at high pressures. (See Exercise 69.) What ratio of densities is expected for these two forms? Does this change in structure make sense on the basis of simple models? The ionic radius is 148 pm for Rb+ and 181 pm for CI.arrow_forwardWhich of the following substances can be liquefied by applying pressure at 25C? For those that cannot, describe the conditions under which they can be liquefied. Substance Critical Temperature Critical Pressure Sulfur dioxide, SO2 158C 78 atm Acetylene, C2H2 36C 62 atm Methane.

- 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.arrow_forwardUse Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, under an external pressure of 250 mmHg.arrow_forwardExplain why liquids assume the shape of any container into which they are poured, whereas solids are rigid and retain their shape.arrow_forward
- The halogens form a series of compounds with each other, which are called interhalogens. Examples are bromine chloride (BrCl), iodine bromide (IBr), bromine fluoride (BrF), and chlorine fluoride (ClF). Which compound is expected to have the highest boiling point at any given pressure? Explain.arrow_forwardThe compounds ethanol (C2H5OH) and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) have the same molecular formula. Which is expected to have the higher surface tension? Why?arrow_forwardWhat 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.arrow_forward
