Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
An equation for the vapor pressure of C2H4(l) as a function of temperature should be derived if
Concept introduction:
Vg − molar volume of the vapor
Vl− molar volume of the liquid
Compared to the molar volume of vapor, molar volume of liquid is negligible. Therefore
(b)
Interpretation:
Normal boiling point of ethylene should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The normal boiling point of ethylene can be calculated using the following formula:
Here, P is pressure, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.

- Consider the following data for the vapor pressure of diethyl ether, a widely used anesthetic in the early days of surgery. Follow the instructions in Question 13 to estimate the heat of vaporization of diethyl ether.arrow_forwardThe following data are the equilibrium vapor pressure of limonene, C10H16, at various temperatures. (Limonene is used as a scent in commercial products.) (a) Plot these data as ln P versus 1/T so that you have a graph resembling the one in Figure 11.13. (b) At what temperature does the liquid have an equilibrium vapor pressure of 250 mm Hg? At what temperature is it 650 mm Hg? (c) What is the normal boiling point of limonene? (d) Calculate the molar enthalpy of vaporization for limonene using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.arrow_forwardEquilibrium vapor pressures of benzene, C6H6, at various temperatures are given in the table. (a) What is the normal boiling point of benzene? (b) Plot these data so that you have a graph resembling the one in Figure 11.12. At what temperature does the liquid have an equilibrium vapor pressure of 250 mm Hg? At what temperature is the vapor pressure 650 mm Hg? (c) Calculate the molar enthalpy of vaporization for benzene using the ClausiusClapeyron equation.arrow_forward
- The phase diagram for water over a relative narrow pressure and temperature range is given in Figure 9.19. A phase diagram over a considerably wider range of temperature and pressure (kbar) is given nearby. This phase diagram illustrates the polymorphism of ice, the existence of a solid in more than one form. In this case, Roman numerals are used to designate each polymorphic form. For example, Ice I, ordinary ice, is the form that exists under ordinary pressures. The other forms exist only at higher pressures, in some cases extremely high pressure such as Ice VII and Ice VIII. Using the phase diagram, give the approximate P and T conditions at the triple point for Ice III, Ice V, and liquid water. Determine the approximate temperature and pressure for the triple point for Ices VI, VII, and VIII. What is anomalously different about the fusion curves for Ice VI and Ice VII compared to that of Ice I? What phases exist at 8 kbar and 20 °C? At a constant temperature of −10 °C, start at 3 kbar and increase the pressure to 7 kbar. Identify all the phase changes that occur sequentially as these conditions change. Explain why there is no triple point for the combination of Ice VII, Ice VIII, and liquid water.arrow_forwardUse the phase diagram of water in Figure 6.6 and count the total number of phase transitions that are represented.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
- Examine the nanoscale diagrams and the phase diagram for Question 112. Match each particulate diagram (1 through 7) to its corresponding point (A through H) on the phase diagram.arrow_forward8.48 Why must the vapor pressure of a substance be measured only after dynamic equilibrium is established?arrow_forwardIf you've ever opened a bottle of rubbing alcohol or other solvent on a warm day, you may have heard a little “whoosh” as the vapor that had built up above the liquid escapes. Describe on a microscopic basis how a vapor pressure builds up in a closed container above a liquid. What processes in the container give rise to this phenomenon?arrow_forward
