(a)
Interpretation:
The change in vapor pressure of water in a closed beaker has to be predicted when –
- (a) Temperature is lowered
- (b) Volume of the beaker is doubled
- (c) More water is added to the beaker.
Concept Introduction:
When a liquid is boiled, the molecules from liquid phase enter into vapor phase. This phenomenon is called evaporation. Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the molecules in the vapor phase of the liquid that is in equilibrium with the liquid phase.

- 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_forwardIn the northern United States, summer cottages are usually closed up for the winter. When doing so, the owners winterize the plumbing by putting antifreeze in the toilet tanks, for example. Will adding 525 g of HOCH2CH2OH to 3.00 kg of water ensure that the water will not freeze at 25 C?arrow_forwardDefine critical temperature and critical pressure. In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, why is it impossible for a substance to exist as a liquid above its critical temperature?arrow_forward
- What term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?arrow_forwardPredict which liquid—glycerol, HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH, or hexane, C6H14—has the greater surface tension. Explain your prediction.arrow_forwardIn terms of their bulk properties, how do liquids and solids differ? How are they similar?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhy do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.arrow_forwardThe metal calcium melts at a temperature of 839 °C and boils at 1484 °C, whereas the metal chromium melts at a temperature of 1857 °C and boils at 2672 °C. (a) Which metal will be more volatile at room temperature? (b) Predict which of the two molten metals has the larger surface tension at its melting point.arrow_forward
- Consider a series of compounds: Methane (CH3), Ethane (CH3 CH3), Propane (CH3 CH2 CH3), Butane (CH3 CH2 CH2 CH3), and Pentane (CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3). For each compound (a) Indicate whether its molecules are polar or non polar. (b) Indicate predominant type of intermolecular forces in the liquid state. (c) Calculate the molar mass. (d) Convert each boiling point from Celsius degrees to Kelvins. (e) Plot a graph of boiling point (in K) versus molar mass. (f) Show the relationship between molar mass and boiling point?arrow_forwardThe diagram below shows liquids can interact with flat surfaces just as it can with capillary tubes. (a) In which of these diagrams, i or ii, do the adhesive forces between surface and liquid exceed the cohesive forces within the liquid? (b) Which of these diagrams, i or ii, represents what happens when water is on a nonpolar surface? (c) Which of these diagrams, i or ii, represents what happens when water is on a polar surface?arrow_forwardC. Explain the following occurrences in terms of molecular polarity and intermolecular forces. 1. Propane can be liquefied, the reason why it is produced as liquefied petroleum gas. (a) What intermolecular force is present between propane gases that makes them attract one another and be liquefied? (b) As soon as we open our gas stove, it is immediately converted back to gas state. Explain it in terms of the strength of the intermolecular force present between propane molecules.arrow_forward
