Chapter 3.8, Problem 1P
A propane tank is filled with a mixture of liquid and vapor propane. Can the contents of this tank be considered a pure substance? Explain.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the content in the tank is considered to be a pure substance and explain.
Explanation of Solution
The contents in the tank filled with a mixture of liquid and vapour propane is considered to be a pure substance because of the homogeneous mixture (similar regions) and uniform chemical composition. When there are two or more elements or compounds in the tank, it leads to state as pure substance.
The example of pure substance is air which has a uniform chemical composition.
