a)
Interpretation: Total pressure that is required for liquid to boil at
Concept introduction: Boiling point is defined as temperature that has vapor pressure of liquid equal to pressure that is present around liquid. At this temperature, substance gets converted from liquid state to vapor or gaseous phase.
b)
Interpretation: Temperature required by liquid to boil if its total pressure becomes
Concept introduction: Boiling point is defined as temperature that has a vapor pressure of liquid equal to the pressure that is present around liquid. At this temperature, the substance gets converted from the liquid state to vapor or gaseous phase.

- Butane is a gas at room temperature; however, if you look closely at a butane lighter you see it contains liquid butane. Explain how it is possible to have liquid butane present.arrow_forwardDefine the normal boiling point of water. Why does a sample of boiling water remain at the same temperature until all the water has been boiled? Define the normal freezing point of water. Sketch a representation of a heating/cooling curve for water, marking clearly the normal freezing and boiling points.arrow_forwardConsider 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_forward
- The phase diagram for elemental sulfur is shown in Figure 6.18. Figure 6.18 Phase diagram for elemental sulfur. a How many allotropes are shown? b What is the stable allotrope of sulfur under normal conditions of temperature and pressure? c Describe the changes to sulfur as its temperature is increased from 25C while at 1atm pressure.arrow_forwardWhy does sweating cool the human body?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
- Are changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?arrow_forwardUse the following vapor pressure data to answer the questions: Liquid Vapor pressure torr Temperature (C) A CH3COOCH3 400 40.0 B C7H16 400 78.0 In which liquid are the intermolecular attractive forces the strongest? Explain. Will the vapor pressure of CH3COOCH3 at 78C be higher or lower than 400torr? Explain.arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forward
- A solution is prepared by mixing 50 g of methanol (CH3OH) with 50 g of ethanol (CH;CH2OH). Use the following data to determine the vapor pressure of this solution at 20°C. Vapor Pressure at 20°C (torr) Substance Methanol 92 Ethanol 45 a. 83 torr b. 73 torr d. 69 torr e. 80 torr c. 57 torrarrow_forward3. It is a quantity of heat need to convert a mole of liquid into gas phase at a specified temperature? a. molar enthalpy of vaporization b. molar enthalpy of boiling c. molar enthalpy of freezing d. molar enthalpy of evaporationarrow_forwardQ6) A liquid is placed into a sealed vial and set on the benchtop to equilibrate at room temperature (25.0° C), and the vapor pressure is measured to be 400. torr. The flask is then heated to 42.0° C, with a new vapor pressure being measured to be 760. torr. What is the enthalpy of vaporization (in kJ/mol) for the liquid? a) 26.3 kJ/mol b) 29.5 kJ/mol c) 330 kJ/mol d) 0.98 kJ/molarrow_forward
