Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Substances mercury, acetic acid, water, toluene, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, mercury alcohol, and bromine have to be arranged in increasing order of evaporation.
Concept Introduction:
When pressure exerted by vapor comes in contact with the liquid that pressure is termed as vapor pressure. It is also defined as the tendency of liquid to move towards its vapor state that is in equilibrium with the liquid.
Evaporation is the process that involves the conversion of liquid to vapor. The temperature at which vapor pressure becomes equal to the external pressure is termed as boiling point temperature.
(b)
Interpretation:
Substance with highest and lowest boiling point has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- 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_forwardWhat term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?arrow_forward5-86 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_forward
- Diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) was one of the first chemicals used as an anesthetic. At 34.6C, diethyl ether has a vapor pressure of 760. torr, and at 17.9C, it has a vapor pressure of 400. torr. What is the H of vaporization for diethyl ether?arrow_forwardIdentify two common observations indicating some liquids have sufficient vapor pressures to noticeably evaporate?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
- In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, in what ways are liquids similar to solids? In what ways are liquids different from solids?arrow_forwardOf the four general types of solids, which one(s) (a) are generally low-boiling? (b) are ductile and malleable? (c) are generally soluble in nonpolar solvents?arrow_forwardDescribe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forward
- ook at Fig. 14.2. Why doesn't temperature increase continuously ever time? That is, why does the temperature stay constanl for periods of time?arrow_forwardClassify each of the following statements as true or false. a Intermolecular attractions are stronger in liquids than in gases. b Substances with weak intermolecular attractions generally have low vapor pressures. c Liquids with high molar heats of vaporization usually are more viscous than liquids with low molar heats of vaporization. d A substance with a relatively high surface tension usually has a very low boiling point. e All other things being equal, hydrogen bonds are weaker than induced dipole or dipole forces. f Induced dipole forces become very strong between large molecules. g Other things being equal, nonpolar molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions than polar molecules. h The essential feature of a dynamic equilibrium is that the rates of opposing changes are equal. i Equilibrium vapor pressure depends on the concentration of a vapor above its own liquid. j The heat of vaporization is equal to the heat of fusion, but with opposite sign. k The boiling point of a liquid is a fixed property of the liquid. l If you break shatter an amorphous solid, it will break in straight lines, but if you break a crystalline solid, it will break in curved lines. m Ionic crystals are seldom soluble in water. n Molecular crystals are nearly always soluble in water. o The numerical value of heat of vaporization is always larger than the numerical value of heat of condensation. p The units of heat of fusion are kJ/gC. q The temperature of water drops while it is freezing. r Specific heat is conerned with a change in temperature.arrow_forwardTwo molecules that contain the same number of each kind of atom but [hat have different molecular structures are said to he isomers of each other. For example, both ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether (shown below} have the formula C2H6Oand are isomers; Based on considerations of intermolecular forces. which substance would you expect to be more volatile? Which would you expect 10have the higher boiling point? Explain. methyl ether hyl alcohol msp;CH3OCH3CH3CH2OHarrow_forward
